There were no injuries in today's 5 Breeders Cup Races. This is the first time the races have been run on a synthetic track surface, which has been proven to incur less catastophic injuries for both horses and jockeys than the traditional American dirt racing surface. Some of the races were run in record time due to this new surface. Jerry Bailey, the retired jockey, says that the synthetic surface is like crumpled confetti. But here are the results:
The Fillies and Mares Sprint - won by Ventura
The Fillies Juvenile - won by Stardom Bound (with Mike Smith)
The Fillies Juvenile Turf - won by Maram
The Fillies and Mares Mile (Turf) - won by Forever Together
The Fillies and Mare Turf - won by Zenyatta (with Mike Smith)
The jockeys are competing for the Shoemaker Award during these two days of racing; Mike Smith has now won two races and is in the lead with 20 points.
