Hughes Simply ‘Spectacular’ in Breeders’ Cup Juvenile to Remain Undefeated
There have now been 43 runnings of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. For more than four decades, the race has showcased some dazzling 2-year-olds and crowned the division champion 34 times. But then, in the spring, when the Kentucky Derby rolls around on the first Saturday in May and precocious 2-year-olds turn into maturing 3-year-olds, the Juvenile winner is usually an afterthought. Only two winners of the race (Street Sense in 2006 and Nyquist in 2015) have been able to win the Juvenile and then the Kentucky Derby.
