Clapton, Speed Boat Beach Look to Add to Florida-bred Legacy in Breeders' Cup

BY BROCK SHERIDAN


RRR Racing’s Clapton and Michael Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman’s Speed Boat Beach will both be attempting to add to a lengthy list of Florida-bred winners of Breeders’ Cup races when they go postward in the $6 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic and the $2 million Qatar Racing Breeders’ Cup Sprint Saturday at Santa Anita Park.


Both Grade 1 races have been a part of the Breeders’ Cup World Championships from the outset in 1984 and the mile-and-one-quarter Classic and six-furlong Sprint are two of the nine Breeders’ Cup World Championship races worth more than $21 million to be run Saturday at the Great Race Place for a record 11th time.
