Stevie Wonderboy rallies to win the Juvenile

Stevie Wonderboy wins the Juvenile over Henny Hughes

In the $1.5 million Bessemer Trust Breeders' Cup Juvenile, 4.50-1 second choice Stevie Wonderboy raced far back of the early pace of Dawn of War for the first half mile, rapidly moved into contention circling four-wide around the turn, and edged clear in the final 1/16 mile to win by 1 1/4 length over 9.30-1 shot Henny Hughes, while 1.30-1 favorite First Samurai was third. The 1 1/16 miles went in 1:41.64. Winning jockey Garrett Gomez said, "I had a decent trip early on but a horse down on the inside swung out at the 5/8 pole and I clipped heels with him. I took back a little and dropped to the inside. When I pushed the button, (Henny Hughes and First Samurai) gave me more of a fight than I expected. When he found his best stride he wore them down."
