Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint Analysis & Handicapping Picks
Our expert handicappers are excited about the upcoming Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint, please consider our picks and analysis below!
Vance Hanson opinions; An undeniably fast horse, Bacio has risen far and fast since securing a second-level allowance victory against older rivals at Churchill Downs during Kentucky Derby week. However, the quality and depth of the fields he was beating in England since then perhaps are a little overstated.
RELATED: Finding Vulnerable Favorites in the 2026 Breeders' Cup
Possible Longshot; A lightly raced five-year-old, John the Beer Man flubbed his lines when favored in the Kentucky Downs Turf Sprint (G2). But he didn’t break as sharp that day as he usually does, nor is that European-style course always suitable to American horses accustomed to flatter ovals.

History's Top 10 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint performances

The 16 editions have produced a bevy of impressive winners and heart-pounding performance. Even European raiders occasionally join the fray.
In advance of the 2025 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar, let’s rank the Top 10 best performances in the history of the Turf Sprint:
10. Glass Slippers (2020)
Blazing fractions of :21.26 and :43.81 gave Glass Slippers a perfect opportunity to upset the 2020 Turf Sprint, but not every horse would have won with her trip. Glass Slippers had to rally up the inside of a large field and split horses in the homestretch to win by half a length over the deep-closing Wet Your Whistle, a terrific performance given the number of places Glass Slippers could have hesitated. Read the full analysis by Keeler Johnson to see who is number one.

Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint Race History
The Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint combines both speed and agility for international competitors at 5 furlongs on the turf course. The world’s fasted Thoroughbreds compete for a $1 million purse, and the race is for horses three-years of age and older. As the sprinters hit the stretch, speeds nearing 40 miles per hours are reached.
The phrase “horses for courses” takes on an even deeper meaning in the Turf Sprint, as the distance of the race is based on the host location. California-based horses have excelled when the race takes place at Santa Anita, as Desert Code (2008), California Flag (2009) and two-time winner Mizdirection (2012, 2013) all were victorious in the Turf Sprint at “The Great Race Place” Santa Anita. California Flag competed in each of the first five Turf Sprints starting in 2008. California Flag was voted the Cal-bred champion turf horse of 2010 and named the state’s Horse of the Year.
Eight editions of the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint have been run at 5 furlongs (2010, 2011, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, 2024, 2025). The 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022 editions were contested at 5 ½ furlongs, and six others have been run at the distance of 6 ½ furlongs. The 5 furlong winning times have been 56.53, 56:48, 56.12, 54.83, 55.22, 55.15, 55.92 and 55.24 seconds respectively.
The 2016 Turf Sprint was another exciting race, as Irish-bred winner and race favorite Obviously (7-2 odds) went forward to the front and jockey Flavien Prat continued to fly down the hill at Santa Anita. As they crossed the main dirt and turned for home on the turf, Om was well behind and near the back of the pack before exploding like a rocket in the deep stretch, coming up a nose short to the winner Obviously, with Pure Sensation holding for third.
