Forte knocks off Cave Rock to give Todd Pletcher third Breeders’ Cup Juvenile win
LEXINGTON, Ky. — It was no surprise that Cave Rock and National Treasure, both trained by Bob Baffert, would finish one in front of the other in the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, much like they did when Cave Rock won the American Pharoah at Santa Anita last month.
The surprise was that Forte finished in front of both. Well, not that big of a surprise because the 2-year-old colt was the second choice at 5-1 behind heavy favorite Cave Rock, who was 2-5.
