The first bomb of the 2011 Breeders’ Cup comes home in the Filly & Mare Sprint after Musical Romance skimmed the rail in the final furlongs to win at odds of 20/1. Switch nosed out Her Smile in a photo for 2nd place.
Heavy favorite Turbulent Descent had a troubled trip, briefly contended for the lead at the top of the stretch, but tired badly in the final furlong.
Musical Romance is a four-year-old filly trained by William Kaplan and ridden by Juan Leyva.
