More Than Ready will have three chances to add to his sire-record seven Breeders’ Cup wins during Saturday’s races at Keeneland, including Rushing Fall and Uni (GB), who are both in search of their second Championship Day wins.
Rushing Fall, who won the Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1) in 2017, will conclude her brilliant career in the $2 million Filly and Mare Turf, race seven at 1:57 p.m. ET. The 5-year-old owned by e Five Racing Thoroughbreds is undefeated in three starts this year, including a win in the Jenny Wiley S. (G1) over this same Keeneland turf course, where she has won five of her six starts.
Rushing Fall has earned more than $2.5 million and won 11 of 14 starts overall. She drew post six of 14 for the 1 3/16-mile contest, which will be the longest race of her career. She was bred in Kentucky by Fred Hertrich III and John Fielding.
Uni is looking for her second consecutive win in the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1), which is race 9 at 3:15 p.m., with Uni in post 12 in the full field of 14. Like Rushing Fall, Saturday’s race will be the last of 6-year-old Uni’s career. She rounded into form nicely in her most recent start, a win in the First Lady (G1) at Keeneland on Oct. 3.
Uni has also won more than $2.5 million for the partnership of Michael Dubb, Head of Plains Partners, Robert LaPenta and Bethlehem Stables. She was bred by Haras D’Etreham.
More Than Ready’s final entry Saturday is Title Ready in the $6 million Classic (G1), race 12 at 5:18 p.m. Title Ready has a pair of wins over the Keeneland surface, and most recently was beaten less than a length in the Fayette S. (G2)
Title Ready drew post five in the 10-horse field. The regally-bred 5-year-old is owned by his breeder Charles Fipke. Title Ready is a half-brother to graded winner Seeking the Title and his second dam is undefeated Hall of Famer and Breeders’ Cup winner Personal Ensign, who is also the dam of Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) winner My Flag.
