Few Changes in Nov. 6 Breeders' Cup Races

With spectacular fall weather at Keeneland greeting connections of this year's horses on Breeders' Cup Friday, there are just a few scratches and horses drawing in Nov. 6 for five World Championship races.

The forecast calls for a high of 68 degrees under mostly sunny skies. There is no chance of rain listed.

The track is fast and turf course is good.

Turf at @keenelandracing for day 1 of @BreedersCup is good. Here's the going report. The course has gradually dried out after late October rain. pic.twitter.com/35C4DYoVri

Race 6: Juvenile Turf Sprint (G2T) 

Scratch #8 Amanzi Yimpilo, this brings in AE #15 Blame the Booze 

Scratch AE#16 Gypsy King 

Scratch AE#17 Trade Deal

Unfortunately Amanzi has been scratched by the state veterinarian due to a minor lameness issue. She’ll be fine but it’s a gut punch. Racing is always a rollercoaster ride. https://t.co/sqj4W7BL9y

"When she got off the plane from winning in California, she had a nick on her leg," Amanzi Yimpilo's trainer Wesley Ward said of a victory in the Sept. 26 Speakeasy Stakes at Santa Anita Park. "We treated it and hoped it would get better in time and it didn't, so it wasn't worth the risk."
