Forte Overhauls Heavy Favorite Cave Rock In Breeders' Cup Juvenile

Cave Rock won the $2 million Juvenile at the Breeders' Cup. Forte finished second, while National Treasure came third. The victory earns Forti 30 points on the Road to the Kentucky Derby. Bob Baffert's horses will not earn Derby points due to trainer's ban from Churchill Downs. It is the first victory in the race for Irad Ortiz Jr. and 15th overall in Breeder's Cup World Championships. This is also the second BreedERS' cup win for owner Mike Repole. He won with Uncle Mo 12 years ago. His previous winners were UncleMo in 2010 and Shanghai Bobby in 2012.
