Annual Report Heads To Kentucky Jockey Club

Promising two-year-old Annual Report goes after a second G2 success on dirt in the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes over an extended mile at Churchill Downs, USA, on Saturday, November 28.

The unbeaten Harlan's Holiday colt, who is trained by Kiaran McLaughlin, came from last to first for a comfortable win in the Futurity Stakes over six furlongs at Belmont Park on October 17.

He made a winning debut with a decisive success in a five and a half-furlong dirt maiden at Parx on September 20.

Joe Bravo, who has ridden Annual Report on both starts, partners the colt again.

Kiaran McLaughlin reported: "Annual Report drew gate 11 in a big field but hopefully it is not a big negative because he is a push-button ride - he can drop out and be near the rear or up with the pace.

"He is a talented colt, although this is a big step up in trip. We are going to have to step up at some point anyway and it shouldn't be an issue based on his first two runs.

"The other question mark could be the weather. It looks like there could be some rain forecast and he has never run on a wet track, but I think he can deal with that."

Annual Report faces 13 other juveniles headed by Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf runner-up Airoforce and Claiborne Breeders' Futurity third Rated R Superstar.
