Morning-line favorite Speightstown came from off the pace to win the $1 million Breeders' Cup Sprint at Lone Star Park. It was the second win of the afternoon for Velazquez. Speightstown was coming off his only loss of the year in the Vosburgh at Belmont Park. Usually the six-year-old is first or second up the back stretch. This time he was running fourth on the inside in the 13 horse field. Long-shot Abbondanza set the pace followed by Gold Storm, Cuvee and Speightstown. Abbondanza began to fade around the turn for home. Speightstown jumped to the lead in mid-stretch and went on the win by 1 1/4 lengths. Gaining second place was Kela and My Cousin Matt finished third. The time for the six-furlongs was 1:08.11. Post-time favorite Midas Eyes was tenth.
The Breeders' Cup World Championships is an annual series of Grade I thoroughbred horse races sponsored by the National Thoroughbred Racing Association. Since its inception in 1984, it has been a single-day event, but will expand to two days starting in 2007, pending regulatory approval. The location changes each year. All sites have been in the United States, except in 1996, when the races were at the Woodbine Racetrack in Canada. The event was created as a year-end championship for North American thoroughbred racing, and also attracts top horses from other parts of the world, especially Europe. The Breeders' Cup was founded in 1982 by John R. Gaines, a leading thoroughbred owner and breeder. Depending on one's definition of "sport", it is either the richest or second-richest day in sports, worth $18 million in prize money in 2006 and rising to $20 million for the second day of the 2007 event. The other possible contender for "richest day in sports" is the final table of the main event of the World Series of Poker, in which nearly $38 million in prize money was awarded in 2006.
