Super Screener Winning Criteria - Filly & Mare Sprint

  • Rule #2 - TCA Pays - The Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes at Keeneland has produced the past 2 winners and other longshots.
  • Rule #5 - Top and Flop - Avoid fillies and mares that just posted a new lifetime top in their last race.   
  • Rule #6 - Not NY -  There have been only 4 runnings of this race, but runners from NY preps are over bet and have disappointed. 
  • For all 10 rules for this race and all Breeders' Cup races, get your copy of the 2011 Breeders' Cup Super Screener.

What the Nation is saying about the 2011 Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint (G1)...

Pomeroys Pistol avoids the Breeders' Cup bounce and takes the G3 Sugar Swirl. Previously undefeated Luke of York misses perfection by a length.Read More

  • Capper · Last year Pameroys Pistol looked to me as a one-dimensional front runner, but its nice to she has the ability to relax and finish. It looks like big things could be coming her was in 2012. · 554 days ago ·

  • Floridaf · Capper, I will certainly be keeping my eyes on her in 2012. It could be that we're looking at next year's top female sprinter. · 554 days ago ·

  • DeadHeat · annmatt, HDG could get 10f plenty fine, and I'm sorry, BL was not even close to a shoe in after her last race, and would not have been because of her two losses prior. FO who won at 10f finished behind HDG in the Classic, and I heard people just yelling about the fact that with one extra furlong he would catch her...how did that work? HDG does not seem to run her best over Churchill. She did not have an overly impressive work over the track this year and still finished well. Trying to say what could have been will drive anyone mad. BL is a great horse, but did not have it this season plain and simple. HDG should not get a minus becase her two losses to BL at 10f were by a neck and a whisker. You don't take off because she beat her at a shorter distance. If you do that then you might as well take off BL for beating her at a distance longer than 9f. The score was 1-1, even. It goes to the horse who did the most, Grace. · 585 days ago ·

  • gocashking · Amazombie, by finishing the year with big wins in the Ancient Title and BC Sprint is a no brainer for the Sprint Champion Eclipse. It won't even be close. There's no way 7F and 8F wins will be rated higher than those two wins at the "traditional" sprint distance of 6F. Caling Flashpoint "brilliant" is also a bit of a stretch, I think. · 584 days ago ·

Finish confirmed: Musical Romance 1st, Switch 2nd, Her Smile third, Pomeroy's Pistol fourth, Turbulent Descent fifth.
Turbulent Descent will be a short priced favorite when she takes on twelve others in Friday's Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint at Churchill Downs. Mike Puype's consistent 3-year-old filly is 3-for-3 at seven furlongs and has been part of the exacta in each of her eight career starts. She was last...Read More
I'm gong with pomeroys pistol.
Handicapping the BC is definitely a joy. The payoff's are almost always huge, or chalky. The BC is the one day of the year, minus the Derby, where the pools are so huge you are bound to make money. YeeHaa! Anyhow, in an effort to cash a big one, I am planning on wheeling (despite the 1 hole) Bafferts Irish Gypsy. No doubt she will be running late, and enjoy the surface. I adore her pedigree, (loved her Mom) and if her works indicate her readiness....possible cha-ching!
F & M Sprint Trifecta: 3 Turbulent Descent, 12 Pomeroys Psitol, 6 Switch
Turbulent Descent my choice, but also very much like Gallant Bloom winner Pomeroys Pistol.
I like Turbulent Descent's chances, she's trained well and she is fresh.
Turbulent Descent is the #3 and the 6-5 favorite in the BC Filly & Mare Sprint.
Turbulent Descent 6-5 from post 3
