Trainer Olly Stevens is excited at the prospect of Qatar Racing's Peace And War (War Front) taking on the best American 2-year-olds fillies over dirt in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita Nov. 1. The daughter of War Front showed her liking for that surface when giving Stevens his first Grade I success in the Darley Alcibiades S. at Keeneland earlier this month.
“She's stayed out in the States and on the 21st she will fly to California and take on the Breeders' Cup,” the Surrey trainer told At The Races. It's just a case of whether she likes the track. It's a very fast track there in Santa Anita. Leading up to her win I was having to pinch myself and tell myself it was too good to be true. However, since the race you watch her in the mornings and it all makes sense. She's just a lot better on the dirt surface than what we've seen on turf. I'd hope we'd be competitive there.”
