Elite Power won the Qatar Racing Breeders' Cup Sprint as odds-on favourite Jackie's Warrior disappointed again on the big stage.
Jackie's Warrior was beaten at skinny odds at the Breeders' Cup meeting as a juvenile in 2020, and again in this race in 2021, and it was more of the same as Steve Asmussen's four-year-old could manage only a place after running out of gas close home, Irad Ortiz Jr and Elite Power sweeping past Super Ocho and Jackie's Warrior, who had taken the field along in the early stages, to score at 6/1.
C Z Rocket ultimately took the runner-up spot at 33/1, with 8/11 fav Jackie Warrior only third.
Winning trainer Bill Mott, who also saddled Cody's Wish earlier on the card, said: "He's done nothing wrong this year, since we brought him back he's been perfect since beaten first time. Cutting back today was always a bit concerning but he came down the middle and ran them all down.
"I think he's improved throughout the course of the year and will keep improving."
