Future Stars Friday - Breeders Cup 2020 For Two-Year-Olds

  Friday, 6 November will be the first day of the Breeders Cup races this year, and, as in the recent past, the juveniles, or two-year-olds, are showcased.  It's called "Future Stars Friday."  The races will be run at Keeneland this year, for the first time ever.  Post positions were drawn today, so I will start by giving information on the five juvenile races for Friday.  If you've read my racing posts before, you know I write about odd things - like coat colors, and where the horse was bred.  I'll right a small bit about each field of entries and then specific information, which I'll spell out before the first full listing.
  The first Breeders Cup race kicks off at 2:30 pm Eastern Standard Time just so you can view it live, if you so desire.   
 *After listing the name of the race,  the purse amount, and the distance (all entries carry 122 pounds, except the two fillies noted below, who get a 3 pound weight allowance since they are competing against  the male of the species), I will list the post position, name of the entry, morning line betting odds, name of sire and name of dam. *

*** Juvenile Turf Sprint      $1 million     5.5 furlongs (11/16 mile)
  This race is is being held at 5 1/2 furlongs, or 11/16ths of a mile this year because of track conditions at Keeneland.  Fourteen  horses will contest the race, and two of them this year are fillies.  The colts will carry 122 pounds, while the two fillies (Amanzi Yimpilo and Dirty Dangle) will carry 119 pounds.  This field also has a gelding entered - Second of July.  Three of the entries were bred in Ireland: Amanzi Yimpilo, Mighty Gurkha, and Ubettabelieveit.  Two were bred in Florida: Golden Pal and Windy Red City; while After Five was bred in Maryland and Bodenheimer is a Washington bred.
