One Godolphin horse acts up in the gate and gets scratched, then his favored stablemate goes out and wins a Breeders’ Cup trophy. If that’s an insufficient summary of the Juvenile Turf, it explains the sense of déjà vu when the script was replayed in the Breeders’ Cup Mile.

Speed is a danger in any horse race, as Town Cruise vividly demonstrated when upsetting Saturday’s Woodbine Mile (G1) in gate-to-wire fashion.

In foal to leading sire Into Mischief, Oleksandra bowed out on a high note by springing a 17-1 upset of odds-on favorite Raging Bull in Sunday’s $250,000 Poker S. (G3) at Belmont Park.

The rising turf star Hit the Road will do just that when he makes his first start outside his Southern California base in Friday's $300,000 Maker's Mark Mile (G1) at Keeneland.

Raging Bull received a highly-favorable pace setup in taking the Shoemaker Mile (G1) last out, but will still likely be favored to pull off a Grade 1 double in Friday's $300,000 Maker's Mark Mile (G1) at Keeneland.
