Keeneland offered a pair of sprint races with Breeders’ Cup implications Saturday, with Evanescence getting up late to win the $400,000 Thoroughbred Club of America (TCA) (G2) and Joe Shiesty recording a frontrunning win in the $376,900 Woodford (G2).

Zulu Kingdom returns to the site of his signature victory on Saturday when he lines up for the $1 million Coolmore Turf Mile (G1) at Keeneland.

Ted Noffey made a statement in the Hopeful (G1) on Labor Day, pummeling the opposition in recording an 8 1/2-length victory.

Keeneland offered a pair of “Win & You’re In” Breeders’ Cup Challenge series on the main track Saturday, and East Avenue and Zeitlos stamped their respective tickets for the Juvenile (G1) and Filly & Mare Sprint (G1) in opposite manner.

Two dirt stakes on the first Saturday of the Keeneland fall meet award “Win and You’re In” berths to the Nov. 1-2 Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar.
