The colt paints to baste another victory. We are four days from the start of the 2018 version of Breeders’ Cup, which in its new format integrates all races for juveniles on Friday and Saturday will go on stage all horses of three years and older.
For the moment we will take a little bit of time about the youth that have achieved sufficient merit to be considered as strong contenders of the 2016 generation.
The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, won last year by Mendelssohn, looks like a field day for the colt Complexity, who shined in his last performance in Belmont Park by authoritatively winning the Champagne Stakes, led by Puerto Rican José Ortiz .
Far from being a simple preparation race, the Champagne was a comparison that came very close to what we will see on the second day of November, since 9 of the 10 participants were winners in the main tracks of North America. Gulfstream Park, was represented by Trophy Chaser, on that occasion the steed could not pass half of the group and vanished at the end of the contest far from threatening the winner.
Listing, represented Del Mar, leaving the opportunity to appear with a terrible exit, hit a little in the boot and could not recover from that incident.
However Complexity not only took advantage of his excellent start that allowed him to take the lead from the first 400 meters and keep at bay all his opponents with a body or more advantage, galloping happily to cross the finish line with three long leads.
José Ortiz again revealed his extraordinary sense of step and gave the impression that the colt will be one of the main protagonists, not only of the BC but a strong candidate for the Triple Crown of 2019, which is sticking its ears.
