$2 million Juvenile Fillies
Indian Blessing ($5.40) wasn’t bothered by a sloppy track and went wire-to-wire for a 3½-length win over Proud Spell.

“She’s just a really good filly,” Baffert said after his first Breeders’ Cup win in five years. “When they’re that talented, they just get it done.”

Indian Blessing, a daughter of Indian Charlie, became the sixth straight betting favorite to win the Juvenile Fillies. Winning time for the 1 1-16 miles was 1:44.73. $2 million Juvenile

Undefeated War Pass ($6.40) led all the way and beat Pyro by 4½ lengths for Zito’s first victory in racing’s richest event since 1996, when he won the Juvenile Fillies with Storm Song.

“I always say it’s like the mini-Derby, this race,” Zito said. “So far we’ve got a mini-Derby. We’ve got to get a big Derby.”

War Pass improved to 4-0 and is a cinch to be voted 2-year-old champion. It wasn’t until this year that a Juvenile winner captured the Derby, with Street Sense breaking the jinx.

War Pass covered 1 1-16 miles in 1:42.76.

$2 million Filly & Mare Turf
Lahudood ($25.40) didn’t mind the soft turf course and dug in for a three-quarter length victory over Honey Ryder. Nashoba’s Key, who came into the race unbeaten in seven starts, finished fourth under 17-year old rider Joe Talamo.

Trained by Kiaran McLaughlin, who sent out Invasor to win last year’s Classic, Lahudood covered the 1 3-8 miles in 2:22.75. $2 million Sprint

Midnight Lute ($7) closed strongly from off the pace and beat Idiot Proof by 4¾ lengths. The win made Baffert the eighth trainer to win at least two Breeders’ Cup races on the same day.

Midnight Lute, co-owned by Baffert’s pal Mike Pegram, covered six furlongs in 1:09.18.

$2 million Mile
Kip Deville ($18.40) gave trainer Richard Dutrow Jr. his third career Breeders’ Cup win.

The 4-year-old colt was supplemented into the race at a cost of $300,000 from owner IEAH Stables, and paid off handsomely by earning $1,420,200 with his third win in seven starts this year. Kip Deville covered the mile in 1:39.78. $2 million Distaff

Ginger Punch ($11) gave trainer Bobby Frankel a lift with her stirring neck victory over Hystericalady. Frankel was back in California caring for his ill 8-year-old dog, Happy, and his Breeders’ Cup horses were saddled by assistant Chad Brown.

The 4-year-old Ginger Punch has won four of her last five races and likely moved ahead of Nashoba’s Key as the leading older female horse. $3 million Turf

English Channel gave Pletcher a much-need victory, pulling away from the field for a seven-length win over Shamdinan. The 5-year-old horse, owned by New Jerseyan James Scatuorchio, scored the biggest win of a career that closes with 13 wins in 23 starts. The win was worth $1,620,000. Dylan Thomas, the 4-5 favorite, was fifth.
