RELATED: How to bet the 2026 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint

John Mucciolo's Synopsis; Purchased for $569,000 at a breeze-up sale earlier this year, Libertango hasn’t done much wrong in her five-race career while keeping fine company, including a score over Sun Goddess in the Albany (G3) at Royal Ascot in June. Second to that filly last time in the Cheveley Park (G1) at Newmarket, the February foal will be moving into contention approaching the turn for home with Flavien Prat inheriting the ride.

What Kellie Reilly thinks; #6 Velozee (20-1) was a fine third in the Phoenix (G1) to Sun Goddess, the favorite in the Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1), and Folsom Blues, among the leading players in the Juvenile Turf (G1). That in itself makes her appealing at a price, but it’s not her only talking point.
