2022 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf Handicapping
Race #3 on the first day of the 2022 Breeders’ Cup World Championships is the Juvenile Fillies Turf for female horses age two. They’ll be racing a flat mile on the Keeneland turf course.
There are 14 entries expected to go to the gate for the race, and the field is a good mix of international and North American-based fillies. With a morning line favourite checking in at 4-1, there’s no clear cut standout in the field.
In 2021 Pizza Banca rallied in the stretch to win the JF Turf at odds of 10-1 and paid $21.80 for the win. The $1 exacta returned a nice payout of $197, while the $.50 trifecta paid $878.10.
Odds listed here are provided by the Keeneland track oddsmaker.
2022 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf Free Pick & Handicapping: Meditate Race Odds: 4-1
Irish-bred Meditate made a huge splash on her home soil by winning her first four career starts, three of those at the Group 1 or Group 2 level. She then stepped up to Group 1 company where she came up just short, finishing second in two consecutive races.
While she did score one of her wins at 7 furlongs, this will be the first time she tries to stretch out to the full mile.
2022 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf Free Pick & Handicapping: Free Look Race Odds: 5-1
In her brief three-race career, Free Look has been in the money each time out, with a win, a second and a third.
Two back she broke her maiden at Saratoga after overcoming a bump and the break, and last out she also took some bumping in the stretch and was beaten just 3/4 length in the (G2) Miss Grillo Stakes on yielding turf at Aqueduct. All of her races have been at 1 1/16 miles, so she gets a slight cut back in distance here.
2022 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf Free Pick & Handicapping: Pleasant Passage Race Odds: 12-1
With only two previous starts, Pleasant Passage is the least experienced runner in the field, but she has made the most of her races, winning both times.
Last out she went wire-to-wire over a yielding Aqueduct course to win the Miss Grillo over Free Look, prior to that she was a first-out maiden winner over a firm Saratoga track where she came from off the pace to get the win. Both of those came at a distance of 1 1/16 miles.
2022 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf Free Pick & Handicapping: Comanche Country Race Odds: 15-1
Comanche Country started racing on her native Ireland soil without much success, but was then shipped over to California where she seemed to relish the firmer footing. She has won her last three at Del Mar and Santa Anita.
All three of those races were run at this one mile distance, and in all three she was able to rally from off the pace.
Here’s My 2022 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf Free Pick.
As noted in the introduction above, the 2021 BC Juvenile Fillies turf provided big payouts when long shots took the top three places, and I think we might see something the same this year.
I think Meditate is a vulnerable lukewarm favourite in this one, and so this will be the Day 1 race where I take a swing for the fences in picking Pleasant Passage to win her third straight.
