2020 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf

about this race

Race Info
History

Aunt Pearl ran to a clear lead early in the $1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf and had no problem keeping her 13 rivals behind her as she powered to a 2 ½ length win.

The Brad Cox-trained filly is now 3-for-3 in her career for owners Michael Dubb, Madaket Stables, Peter Deutsch, Michael Kisber, The Elkstone Group, and Bethlehem Stables.

Aunt Pearl broke from post 5 under Florent Geroux as the 2.60-1 favorite and opened up by three lengths at the beginning of the one-mile event. She ran a :22.55 quarter-mile before slowing down to a half in :47.30 and three-quarters in 1:12.21 with no pressure from nearest challenger Campanelle.

Undeterred by the field chasing her home, Aunt Pearl maintained her advantage all the way to the wire. The final time on the good turf was 1:35.71.

Mother Earth, campaigned by the Coolmore connections, rallied from 12^th to finish second at 22.80-1. She bested third-place Miss Amulet by a neck, and Campanelle held fourth.

Aunt Pearl won her debut Sept. 1 at Churchill Downs by five lengths racing at a mile on turf. She then extended out to 1 1/16 miles in the JPMorgan Chase Jessamine Stakes Oct. 7 at Keeneland and posted a 2 ½-length victory. All three of her efforts have come on the front end. Aunt Pearl has amassed earnings of $652,784.
