Take Charge Brandi takes charge at Santa Anita
Saturday 1 November 2014 21:04, UK
Take Charge Brandi was a shock winner of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita.
Available at 66-1 despite being trained by the legendary D Wayne Lukas, the daughter of Giant's Causeway was given a perfectly-judged ride from the front by Victor Espinoza.
Grabbing a breather rounding the turn, Espinoza kicked entering the straight, gaining a vital few lengths.
That was to prove a race-winning move as his mount responded in game fashion as the challengers loomed.
Top Decile flew home best of all under Rosie Napravnik but just found the line coming too soon.
