Favorite My Miss Aurelia wins BC Juvenile Fillies
November 4, 2011LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - My Miss Aurelia won the $2 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies by three lengths to stay undefeated Friday.
Ridden by Corey Nakatani, My Miss Aurelia ran 1 1-16 miles in 1:46.00 and paid $6.20 to win as the 2-1 favorite at Churchill Downs. It was Nakatani's eighth Breeders' Cup win and first since 2006, and the second win for trainer Steve Asmussen.
Grace Hall was second and Weemissfrankie, co-owned by MTV's Rob Dyrdek, was third.
Now 4-for-4, My Miss Aurelia is named for the mother of co-owner George Bolton. The 2-year-old filly was bred and is co-owned by Stonestreet Stable, the racing outfit of the late Jess Jackson, who owned Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra.
