The three-year-old colt Trinniberg made amends for his poor showing in last year's Breeder' Cup Juvenile Sprint when he held off fellow sophomore The Lumber Guy to win the $1.5 million Xpressbet Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I) by three-quarters of a length.
Ridden to victory by Willie Martinez, Trinniberg flashed his typical early speed from the start, challenging Sum of the Parts for the lead through an opening quarter mile in :21.41 seconds. Fast Bullet and The Lumber Guy were also close to the pace, followed by Amazombie, Poseidon's Warrior, Smiling Tiger, Jimmy Creed, Gantry, Hamazing Destiny, Justin Phillip, Coil, Boxeur des Rues, and Capital Account.
Following a half-mile in a blazing :43.73 seconds, Trinniberg took command of the lead and quickly opened up a commanding advantage, coasting past the eighth pole in front by 1 1/2 lengths. The Lumber Guy put in a strong, sustained rally to challenge for the victory, but Trinniberg had enough left in the tank to hold on for victory in the spectacular time of 1:07.98 seconds.
Smiling Tiger put in a good late rally to edge Sum of the Parts for third, while Justin Phillip, Fast Bullet, Coil, Amazombie, Jimmy Creed, Hamazing Destiny, Gantry, Capital Account, Boxeur des Rues, and Poseidon's Warrior completed the order of finish.
The winner is trained by Shivananda Parbhoo and owned by Sherry Parbhoo.
