DEL MAR, Calif. – Super Corredora (Gun Runner) cleared her eight rivals beneath an aggressive Hector Berrios heading into the clubhouse turn, and never looked back in Friday's GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar.
Favored 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Explora (Blame) was second. Fellow 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Percy's Bar (Upstart) was third.
Super Corredora becomes the fourth Breeders' Cup winner for trainer John Sadler and first for Berrios.
“She's a filly we had really high hopes for,” Sadler said. “We're in our own backyard. We weren't sure we were going to run, but we trained her a little bit here and she trained well and here we are.”
Berrios added, “(John Sadler) told me to be confident. And now I'm very excited for this moment. It's an amazing day for me today, for my career.”
Off at 8-1 following a runaway maiden win at third asking–her first try around two turns, going a mile at Santa Anita Oct. 11– Super Corredora clearly didn't mind the quick turnaround one bit.
She led by a length through fast fractions of :22.42 and :45.63 and let it out a notch rounding the far turn. She kept finding in the stretch to win in game fashion by 3/4 of a length.
The bay sprinted in her first two tries at Del Mar, finishing fifth July 19 and second Aug. 9, respectively.
Super Corredora is campaigned in partnership by West Point Thoroughbreds, Spartan Equine Racing, Robert C. Gardiner and Michael W. Olszewski. West Point was among the ownership group behind the Sadler-trained Classic winner and Horse of the Year Flightline.
“I remember John (Sadler) saying very early, we're not going to get in a hurry with this filly, we're going to run her, but she's going to get better and better and better,” West Point's Terry Finley said. “So, it's pretty cool to be sitting here on the 31st of October and we didn't get in a hurry, and John just applied his magic, and we are Breeders' Cup champions.”
Pedigree Notes:
Super Corredora, a $400,000 Keeneland September yearling, becomes the third Breeders' Cup winner–his second in the Juvenile Fillies–for leading young sire and Breeders' Cup Classic winner Gun Runner. He is now the sire of 12 winners at the top level. This is the second GISW for broodmare sire Super Saver.
“I always expected her to improve around two turns. The Gun Runners, there's not a hotter stallion in the country than Gun Runner,” Sadler said. “And to me they move up.”
Super Simple, a winning homebred for Winchell Thoroughbreds, brought $300,000 from winning breeder Woodford Thoroughbreds at the 2021 Keeneland November sale. Super Simple is a half-sister to the stakes-winning dam of MGISW Gunite (Gun Runner). She had a colt by Taiba this year.
