Trained by William Spawr, Amazombie won the Santa Anita Sprint Championship last year prior to his Breeders' Cup success, back when the Sprint Championship was known as the Ancient Title Stakes. With regular rider Mike Smith aboard, Amazombie will be looking to complete the same double again this year, which would practically assure him the Eclipse award as the champion of his division.
Capital Account and Coil, who finished 1-2 in last month's Pat O'Brien Stakes (gr. II) for trainer Bob Baffert, are also expected to be in contention. Reneesgotzip, a super-talented three-year-old filly making that recently won the six-furlong C.E.R.F. Stakes at Del Mar in 1:08.23 seconds, is also an intriguing contender.
