There’s no getting around it: Storm the Court’s blinkers-on, wire-to-wire 45-1 shocker capped the most perplexing and confounding edition of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile in its 35 runnings. Perhaps a silver lining for the colt’s Derby development will be that because so many people regard his performance as a fluke, this $60,000 OBSAPR Court Vision bay (bought for $5,000 as a FTKFEB yearling) won’t be saddled with the usual high-pressure expectations that come with winning that race. The Juvenile was beset by no-shows: The third-favorite on the morning line scratched three days before race, the second fave in the betting ran a dull sixth, and the odds-on choice stumbled out of the gate and finished dead last. But still, Storm the Court won the internal Juvenile pace battle and had enough left to prevail in a slugfest stretch drive. His connections are considering–but not limiting their options to–the winter Derby preps at Santa Anita. VIDEO PPS FINISH RACE 1st GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile 3rd GI American Pharoah S.
