2022 Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint Handicapping
Day 2 of the 2022 Breeders’ Cup World Championships gets going on Saturday morning with the running of the Filly & Mare Sprint, open for horses age three and older going 7 furlongs on the Keeneland dirt.
The race has drawn a field of 13 and includes the 2021 race champ and runner-up, as well as the winner of the 2021 BC Juvenile Fillies. However, none of those horses are the morning line favourite, showing just what a tough field and handicapping race this is.
Odds listed here are provided by the Keeneland track oddsmaker.
2022 Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint Free Pick & Handicapping: Goodnight Olive Race Odds: 3-1
Since running second in her first career race, Goodnight Olive has reeled off a string of five wins, three of those at this 7 furlong distance. In her last three she has hit a triple-digit Equibase speed figure.
Last out she tried graded-stakes racing for the first time and won the (G1) Ballerina Handicap by 2 3/4 lengths. That effort was over 7 furlongs at Saratoga and the field included three she will face here again.
2022 Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint Free Pick & Handicapping: Ce Ce Race Odds: 5-1
The grand dame of the race, six-year-old Ce Ce is also the defending race champion, having won last year’s event at Del Mar by 2 1/2 lengths.
Two back she had to deal with a very wide trip in the Ballerina and finished a well-beaten fifth behind Goodnight Olive, but she rebounded next out to win the (G3) Chillingworth Stakes at Santa Anita by 2 1/4 lengths. For her career she is four-for-eight at the distance, and has won 11 of 22 overall.
2022 Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint Free Pick & Handicapping: Echo Zulu Race Odds: 6-1
The winner of last year’s BC Juvenile Fillies at 1 1/16 miles, Echo Zulu is probably best suited for shorter distances and has won both of her races going 7 furlongs.
After a layoff of more than four months, she came back to the races in late September to win the (G3) Dogwood Stakes over 7 furlongs at Churchill Downs. While she has yet to race at Keeneland, she posted a bullet workout over the track on October 23.
2022 Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint Free Pick & Handicapping: Wicked Halo Race Odds: 10-1
While she has yet to post the speed figures of some of the others in here, Wicked Halo has won four straight races, and was very impressive last out when taking the (G2) Raven Run Stakes on this track and at this distance just two weeks ago.
Like Echo Zulu, she’s a three-year-old filly who will be taking on older for the first time.
Here’s My 2022 Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint Free Pick.
Based on her last effort, Goodnight Olive is formidable in here, and particularly because in that last race she beat Ce Ce and two others she will face again.
That race notwithstanding, however, she has been racking up wins in much easier company, and there’s a question if she can repeat that effort against another strong field. At her ML 3-1 odds she does offer some value, but I’m going to look elsewhere.
I don’t like the post position, but I do like Echo Zulu and I’ll pick her for the win. She doesn’t need to be on the lead early, she just needs a clean break from the gate to get a good position and can sit a stalking trip and be ready to pounce as they are turning for home.
