Breeders' Cup On Jambalaya Agenda

The Breeders' Cup Challenge, which made its first stop two weeks ago at the Old Spa, visited Arlington Park last Saturday with three "Win and You're In" races on turf.

In the day’s marquee event, Canadian invader Jambalaya burst from between horses at mid-stretch and went on to win the 25th running of the Arlington Million by 3/4 length over last year’s winner and this year's favorite, The Tin Man.

Jambalaya, purchased for $2,500 as a yearling, earned $594,000 and an automatic berth in the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic, Powered by Dodge.

Another automatic entry to the Classic went to French-bred Shamdinan, who rallied from off the pace to win the $400,000 Secretariat Stakes for 3-year-olds.

And Royal Highness, a German-bred mare, earned a spot in October’s $2 million Emirates Airlines Breeders’ Cup Distaff with a dramatic, stretch-running victory in Saturday’s $750,000 Beverly D. Stakes.
