PNC Bank Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint

Defending Eclipse Award-winning champion female sprinter Goodnight Olive won the $1 million PNC Bank Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint for a second straight year, dominating the seven-furlong race to win by 2 3/4 lengths.

"This horse is such a great horse. It's our first back-to-back Breeders Cup winner, so that really puts her up in high standings in our barn through 17 years of training," said trainer Chad Brown. 

Goodnight Olive paid $4.20 to win on a $2 win ticket. Yuugiri, longshot Three Witches, and Society finished second, third, and fourth. 

"Beautiful trip," said jockey Irad Ortiz Jr., who was with Goodnight Olive for all but one of her 12 career starts. "She was there for me every time I asked. She gives me confidence," Otriz said. "I knew I was on the best horse. She did it again."

The final time was 1:22.97.  

Goodnight Olive ends her career 9-2-1 from 12 starts with $2,196,200 in the bank. This year. Now she returns to the sales ring as Goodnight Olive is scheduled to be sold Nov. 7 at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale. 

Earlier in the week, Brown said he hoped Goodnight Olive would end her racing career Saturday as a champion. This triumph will go a very long way in accomplishing her final racing achievement.
