She Be Wild is small but spunky (Ted Terquinio/Horsephotos.com)

Jockey Julien Leparoux kept SHE BE WILD (Offlee Wild) ran along the rail in the lane of Friday's $1,818,000 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1), and the move paid off as the dark bay lass scooted through a hole in late stretch to give trainer Wayne Catalano yet another Juvenile Fillies victory. Taking the 2006 running with eventual champion Dreaming of Anna, the conditioner saddled Nancy Mazzoni's colorbearer to finish up 1 1/16 miles in 1:43 4/5.

"When they were loading, she was getting a little excited but she broke good," Catalano said. "Everything went well. I'm really happy with her. I was a little worried when it looked like she might get trapped, but I have a good rider who is patient. I felt good when she poked her head in the hole. She's not a big filly so it doesn't take much room."

"I got a perfect race," Leparoux said. "I was on the rail all the way. I was hoping it would open up at the top, but I didn't really know. It did open up, a little bit, and that was good. That was all I needed."

She Be Wild appeared ready to lead the field when the gates opened, spurting to the front, but Leparoux quickly got his mount settled down, opening the way for Always a Princess (Leroidesanimaux [Brz]) to take command through splits of :23 4/5, :47 2/5 and 1:11 3/5.

"When she came to me at the barn, she was not a real big filly, but she had a lot of spunk to her," Catalano said. "Once we got to training her, she showed a lot of ability. She's got a tremendous stride for a small horse, and that's what caught my eye and my attention on her stride and her work ethics. And, the spunk that she had in her, they seemed to have a little horse that has a lot of heart."

Biofuel (Stormin Fever) was making a big rally down the center of the track, but was slammed by Negligee (Northern Afleet) in midstretch when that one suddenly veered toward the grandstand. She recovered her stride and got up for fourth, a head in front of Always a Princess. Next under the wire were Negligee, Zilva (Successful Appeal), Connie and Michael, Ms Vanenzza (Successful Appeal), Bickersons (Silver Deputy), Devil May Care (Malibu Moon) and Champagne d'Oro (Medaglia d'Oro).

She Be Wild dominated her first three starts, breaking her maiden by 7 1/4 lengths for a $40,000 claiming tag at Arlington Park in May. She took the rest of the summer off, returning on August 8 in the Top Flight S. to score by 5 1/4 lengths. The juvenile miss made her graded bow in the one-mile Arlington-Washington Lassie (G3) and closed for a 5 3/4-length victory on September 5, then suffered her first and only career loss when second by just a half-length in the Alcibiades S. (G1) at Keeneland on October 9. She avenged that defeat here, with Alcibiades winner Negligee finishing far back here.
