Tapitsfly caused a minor upset in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf for Dale Romans and Robby Albarado.

A winner of her only previous start on grass, Albarado refused to let the leader, Rose Catherine, get too far in front at any stage.

Albarado, who suffered the massive disappointment of Curlin getting beaten on his last ride in last year's Classic, drove his mount to lead inside the final furlong and held on grimly.

Aidan O'Brien had stated previously that Lillie Langtry was his best chance of a winner at the meeting, but Johnny Murtagh asked his mount to quicken on the turn and the response was minimal.

Romans said: "She just skipped across the ground and I guess everybody saw it - everybody's been writing about how well she moves.

"She was moving so well and she's a great filly - she liked the ground. Nobody deserves a big winner more than (owner) Frank Jones. He's been in the game for 30 to 40 years and was my Dad's primary client.

"When my Dad passed away I took over his horses - it's an emotional winner."

O'Brien said of Lillie Langtry: "Ideally she might prefer a little more ease in the surface but Johnny (Murtagh) said it was a rough race and she got knocked around a few times.

"It may be the end of a long season but that was definitely not her."

Jockey Todd Pletcher said of runner-up Rose Catherine: "She ran a great race, she wanted to be on the lead and managed to get there and settled nicely into a rhythm. The winner stalked her all of the way and was that bit better."
