Jockey: Chantal Sutherland
Sutherland, a 35-year-old from Canada, has yet to win any races at the Breeders' Cup but has several major wins, such as the Santa Anita Handicap and Goodwood Stakes in 2011.
"She has become the queen of the long shots," said Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens. "She has won several photos against top jockeys, which shows she is a strong finisher."
In 2008, she rode future Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile.

How can you not like a horse owned by Joe Torre? The man is simply a winner. That has to translate to horse racing, right?
