Cy Fair foiled a strong European challenge that included Cheveley Park Stakes winner
True Love to land the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint for trainer George Weaver at
Del Mar.
As expected, the Wesley Ward-trained Schwarzenegger blasted out of the gates and was the one to catch, while in contrast Aidan O’Brien’s race favourite True Love was always up against it from an early stage, having to race five deep.
Backers of Schwarzenegger might have known their fate straightening for home and it was not long before Cy Fair and Irad Ortiz Jr shot past. True Love’s stablemate
Brussels (Christophe Soumillon) made strong late gains to take second, with the James Owen-trained
Aspect Island an excellent third in the hands of
Frankie Dettori.
