Kentucky Derby 2020 Blog: BC Juvenile Preview
The 2019 BC Juvenile will be run at Santa Anita Park on Friday, Nov. 1. Southern California based runners captured six of the nine previous runnings at Santa Anita (Capote, Brocco, Action This Day, Midshipman, New Year’s Day, Texas Red). Eight Rings is the top local hope this year and is expected to vie for favoritism with Dennis’s Moment.
Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) 2019 Pre-Entries (in alphabetical order):
American Theorem - Solid 2nd in American Pharoah (G1). Not expected to run in Juvenile.
Anneau d’Or - Romped in turf route bow at GG. BC Juvenile Turf (G1) a better option.
Billy Batts - Turf router has already run six times. Would be a big surprise.
Dennis’ Moment - Talented shipper for Dale Romans. Strong win threat.
Eight Rings - Baffert’s local G1 winner might go all the way.
Full Flat - Japanese shipper is bred for dirt but this is a very big ask.
King Neptune - Competed in 9 overseas sprints and scored once in synthetic debut.
Maxfield - Slow starts and strong late run in both starts. G1 winner late threat.
Scabbard - Iroquois (G3) runner-up needs to make up ground on Dennis’.
Shoplifted - No threat in American Pharoah (G1). Not good enough at this stage.
Storm the Court - Non-threatening 3rd in American Pharoah (G1). Needs to show more.
Wrecking Crew - 2nd in Best Pal (G1) and Del Mar Futurity (G1). Needs to run faster.
BC Juvenile Comments: Eight Rings catches a field without much early zip, and will probably try to run them off their feet again. Dennis’ Moment has early-pressing versatility and continues to fire bullets after back-to-back wins. Maxfield cannot afford to break slow and spot the two favorites a few lengths. He can win this if the pace heats up. Scabbard is a decent finisher and looks best of the rest.
