Breeders’ Cup Contenders October 24: Zenyatta Leads 2008 Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic Field
Posted on Tuesday, October 21st, 2008
The 2008 Breeders’ Cup will feature an all-female race card on Breeders’ Cup Day October 24 highlighted by the Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic, previously called the Breeders’ Cup Distaff, where filly Zenyatta was made the 3-5 favorite.
Raced at 1 1/8 miles, the Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic field of fillies and mares with jockeys, weight and morning line odds:
Zenyatta under jockey Mike Smith carries 123 lbs., 3-5- Hystericalady under jockey Garrett Gomez, 123 lbs., 15-1
- Cocoa Beach under jockey Ramon Dominguez, 123 lbs., 8-1
- Music Note under jockey Javier Castellano, 119 lbs., 6-1
- Carriage Trail under jockey Kent Desormeaux, 123 lbs., 8-1
- Ginger Punch under jockey Rafael Bejarano, 123 lbs., 9-2
- Santa Teresita under jockey Michael Baze, 123 lbs., 50-1
- Bear Now under jockey Eurico Da Silva, 123 lbs., 30-1
Four-year-old filly Zenyatta has won all 8 of her races. If Curlin doesn’t win in the 2008 Breeders’ Cup Classic and Zenyatta stays unbeaten against defending champion Ginger Punch (9-2) and last year’s runner-up Hystericalady (15-1), she could be the rare filly to have a shot at Horse of the Year.
That’s something we really don’t want to talk about,” race horse trainer John Shirreffs said.
