Equibase Analysis: Outadore Looks Tough To Beat In Springboard Mile Sponsored by:
Outadore and Irad Ortiz Jr. give trainer Wesley Ward his third consecutive victory in the Juvenile Turf Sprint at Kentucky Downs
Friday s $200,000 Remington Springboard Mile Stakes is a traditional December showcase for 2-year-olds who are just starting out on the Road to the Kentucky Derby, as this race awards a total of 17 points, including 10 to the winner.
Eleven colts and geldings are entered in this race, led by a pair of horses who last competed on Future Stars Friday as part of the Breeders Cup World Championships last month. Outadore is one of the two, having finished third in the Grade 1 Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf following a victory in the Juvenile Turf Sprint in September. The other is Cowan, runner-up in the G2 Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint, following a runner-up effort in the Indian Summer Stakes one month earlier.
