Dancing in Silks prevailed in a blanket finish to win Saturday's $2 million Breeders' Cup Sprint at Santa Anita. Ridden by Joel Rosario, the 25-1 longshot covered the six-furlongs in 1:08.14 on the synthetic track.
Cost of Freedom with Tyler Baze set the pace in the Sprint with 2008 runner-up Fatal Bullet in second and 9-5 favorite Zensational racing in third. At the top of the stretch Cost of Freedom was joined on the lead by Dancing in Silks and Gayego. Coming along the inside late was Crown of Thorns.
All four horses hit the wire virtually together. The win-photo showed that Dancing in Silks got his nose at the wire first followed by Crown of Thorns, Cost of Freedom and Gayego.
Dancing in Silks is owned by Ken Kinakin and trained by Carla Gaines. The four-year-old gelding collects $1 million for the victory to bring his career earnings to $1.4 million. The Sprint is his fourth straight win and seventh in 13 lifetime starts.
Dancing in Silks returned $52.60, $19.20 and $12.00. Crown of Thorns paid $13.20 and $8.60, and Cost of Freedom paid $9.20 to show.
