Juvenile Turf Sprint Rapid Reaction

Bulletin broke like a shot, turned back a protracted challenge from Chelsea Cloisters and drew off to win the first running of the $1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint by 2 3/4 lengths.

The Todd Pletcher trained colt by City Zip, ridden by Javier Castellano, paid $10.60 as the second choice in the betting.

Chelsea Cloisters gamely held the place, finishing a length ahead of So Perfect, the European-based shipper who produced the best finish.

Soldier's Call, another European shipper and the 5-2 favorite, broke last, rushed up to hold a prominent position to the stretch, but faded late.

Bulletin, who won the Hollywood Beach Stakes by seven lengths in his only previous start, completed the 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:05.54. That time would suggest the turf course is a fair bit slower than the official course designation of "good" might suggest.
