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.
