Indian Blessing wins
breeders cup results
No surprises so far. In the $2 million Juvenile Fillies race, 8-5 favorite Indian Blessing shot out to an early lead and never relinquished it, en route to a 3.5-length victory in the first Breeders’ Cup race of the second day. Trained by Bob Baffert and ridden by jockey Garrett Gomez, the 2-year-old filly won the 1 1/16-mile race on a sloppy, waterlogged track in 1:44.73.
Proud Spell took second place, and Backseat Rhythm came in third. The exacta paid $54.20.
“That was fun,” Baffert said. “She’s a really talented filly, and we’ve always known it.”
