the sprint
The 6-furlong, $2 million Breeders' Cup Sprint for three-year-olds and up is a race known for speed. And none have been faster than Kona Gold. His blistering time of 1:07.77 in 2000 broke the record set by Artax just the year before. Cajun Beat's time of 1:07.95 in 2003 broke the 1:08 barrier for only the third time in the history of the race. Last year's winner, Thor's Echo, became the second California-bred horse to win a Breeders' Cup race.
