Sir Prancealot Misses Both Run Huge in 2020 Breeders Cup races.

After Beau Recall was withdrawn for consideration for the Breeders Cup Mile, only 2 Sir Prancealot progeny were left in the 2020 Breeders Cup Championship races: Miss Amulet and Lady Prancealot.

On Friday November 6th, Miss Amulet made her United States debut in the $1,000,000 Breeders Cup Juvenile Filly Turf Stakes-G1.  She settled into a spot behind the leaders on the rail with nowhere to go and was still 7th as they turned into the stretch when she suddenly moved to the middle of the track and closed strongly to grab second before just getting nailed and finishing 3rd in the final jumps beaten 2 3/4 lengths.  Watch race HERE.   This was the 17th Irish-bred Sir Prancealot progeny to race in North America and her debut was the single most impressive as she become the 9th stakes horse (including 4 Stakes winners) among those starters here.

The next day, Lady Prancealot, dismissed as the longest shot in the race at 73.90 to 1,  ran in the $2,000,000 Maker’s Mark Breeders Cup Filly and Mare Turf Stakes-G1.  She also settled into a spot behind the leaders on the rail and also was still 7th as they turned into the stretch, then she moved to the outside and close smartly to finished 4th beaten less than one length in what was perhaps the best race of her life.  Watch race HERE.

Two fillies and one mare by Rancho San Miguel stallion, Sir Prancealot, have been pre-entered in the 2020 Breeders Cup Championships to be held November 6th and 7th at Keeneland Racecourse in Lexington, Kentucky.

On Friday November 6, two-year-old filly Miss Amulet invades from Europe, fresh off  winning the Lowther Stakes-G2 and finishing 2nd in the Cheveley Park Stakes-G1 in her last 2 starts, to run in the $1,000,000 Juvenile Filly Turf-G1 at a mile on the turf in her stateside debut.  If she starts, she will become only the 17th progeny of Sir Prancealot to start in North America.

The next day, four-year-old Grade 1 winner Lady Prancealot ($640,841), after suffering through some races with little pace in California, returns to Keeneland where she ran perhaps her most impressive race last year winning the Valley View Stakes-G3, to run in the $2,000,000 Maker’s Mark Filly and Mare Turf-G1 at 1 3/16 miles on the turf.

A short time later, six-year-old mare Beau Recall, who has won four Grade 2 (including the last 2 Longines Churchill Distaff Mile Stakes-G2) races and finished second in five Grade 1 races (including a fast closing second in the First Lady Stakes-G1 to last year’s Breeders Cup Mile winner Uni in her most recent start at Keeneland) while winning $1,481,412, is pre-entered in the $2,000,000 Fan Duel Mile Presented by PDJC at one mile on the turf versus open company.

Miss Amulet continued her Cinderella story, going from $1,200 weanling to $9,800 yearling to being unplaced in first two starts at 2. She then won her 3rd start by 5 lengths. In first start vs. winners, she finished a good second and followed that up by winning a Listed stake while vanquishing the winner of her previous race. In her next start at York yesterday, she won the Sky Bet Lowther Stakes-G2 (pictured above).  Watch race HERE.
Is currently being pointed to the Cheveley Park Stakes-G1  at Newmarket. Who knows what her ceiling will be?  Could it be the Breeders Cup in November?
