Before returning to the regular Maiden Watch activities, I thought I would present a salute to Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner George Vancouver (Henrythenavigator - Versailles Treaty by Danzig) with photos taken by The Blood Horse photographers at Santa Anita. But first, let's watch the replay of the race.

George Vancouver makes a powerful move between horses, and pulls away for a 1 1/4 length win. Also watch for Brown Almighty (Big Brown - Gone Goodbye by Gone for Real), who takes a short lead after 6 furlongs, but has to steady when crowded, and weakens to finish 9th.
