Dean's Kitten chosen over Kera's Kitten for Juvenile Turf After discussing options, owners Ken and Sarah Ramsey and trainer Mike Maker informed the Breeders' Cup racing office Friday morning that they would withdraw KERA'S KITTEN (Kitten's Joy) from Saturday's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, thus allowing their DEAN'S KITTEN (Kitten's Joy) to draw in off the also-eligible list. "We would have been comfortable running either one of them, but were forced to pick," Maker said. "It was a tough call. Dean's Kitten has more seasoning. He's been running against better competition and we feel he'll be better (than Kera's Kitten) with the short turn around. We're running the horse we feel gives us the best chance to win." Dean's Kitten, who draws into post 12, will be ridden by Ramon Dominguez. In other Breeders' Cup news: SUMMER BIRD's (Birdstone) trip to the paddock to school with the field for Thursday's 2ND race was uneventful. According to trainer Tim Ice, the Belmont S. (G1) winner took everything in stride. "He got on the muscle a little bit coming home, but that's normal," Ice said. "So far so good."
