This horse is extremely fast out of the gate and if he gets an early lead he might run away from the field.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yankee Injunuity<\/strong>: With a win in the Arlington Sprint Handicap at Arlington he earned an automatic bid in the Turf Sprint. He followed this up with a disappointing 6th place finish in the Pennsylvania Governor\u2019s Cup Handicap at Penn National.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gotta Have Her:<\/strong> The current point leader in this division, this 5 year old mare is set to face off against the males for the first time in her career after a big win in the Senator Ken Maddy Handicap at Santa Anita.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fleeting Spirit<\/strong>: She finished 4th in last year\u2019s Turf Sprint and a win in the Darley July Cup at Newmarket appears ready to challenge the boys again in this race.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Silver Timber<\/strong>: With four wins in five starts this season including an impressive win in his last start in the Woodford Stakes at Keeneland makes him a serious contender in the Turf Sprint.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Predicted order of finish for the Turf Sprint:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Win<\/strong>&#8211; California Flag<\/p>\n<p><strong>Place<\/strong>&#8211; Silver Timber<\/p>\n<p><strong>Show<\/strong>&#8211; Gotta Have Her <\/p>\n<h3>Which horse is your favorite to win The Turf Sprint at the 2009 Breeders&#8217; Cup World Championships?
