ARCADIA, Calif. -- Oscar Performance acted like a good horse from the time he was broken to saddle, and on Friday at Santa Anita, he was the leading man in the $1 million Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf, tracking the pacesetting Wellabled, bursting to the front, and going on to a 1-1/4-length win over Lancaster Bomber and a tough-luck Good Samaritan.It was a first Breeders Cup victory for both trainer Brian Lynch and jockey Jose Ortiz. Just absolutely thrilled as I am for my first Breeders Cup, Im thrilled to have done it with Jose, said Lynch.Oscar Performance, by Kittens Joy and out of the Theatrical mare Devine Actress, had shown ability from the time he was broken as a yearling in Florida by Barry Berkelhammer.He came up to me and said, Youve got one special horse, and that was a long time ago, said John Amerman, who owns Oscar Performance with his wife, Jerry, Oscar Performances breeder.Oscar Performance needed one race to show his talent, however, finishing fifth in a somewhat-troubled debut July 23 at Saratoga. We probably did expect a little more of him first time out, said Lynch. He was a victim of circumstance. But he damn sure was ready second time out.Indeed, Oscar Performance won his second start, a Saratoga turf-route maiden, by more than 10 lengths, and he followed that with a six-length win in the Pilgrim Stakes at Belmont, his last race before the Juvenile Turf. Oscar Performance led all the way in both races, but Lynch believed his horse would rate off the pace, and with the fast stretch-out sprinter Wellabled in the field, Ortiz was able to settle into a perfect pressing trip Friday. As Wellabled set fractions of 22.30 seconds for the first quarter-mile and 45.88 to the half, Ortiz and Oscar Performance were perched just outside, waiting to pounce.Me and Brian talked about it, and it worked just like we wanted to, said Ortiz, who is in the midst of a breakout season. When I passed the half-mile going to the three-eighths pole, I felt like I had a lot of horse under me. I just waited a little more because no one was pressing me. I knew the horse in front of me was a sprinter. I knew sooner or later hed come back to me.Oscar Performance had the lead turning for home, and despite the fast pace, he rattled off a final quarter-mile in 23.84 seconds, too good for anyone to catch him. He stopped the timer in 1:33.28 for one mile on firm turf and paid $15.20 to win.Lancaster Bomber got second by a neck over Good Samaritan. They were followed by Ticonderoga, Big Score, Made You Look, Channel Maker, Keep Quiet, Intelligence Cross, Wellabled, Bowies Hero, Favorable Outcome, J. S. Choice, and Rodaini.Lancaster Bomber, in from Ireland for trainer Aidan OBrien, broke decently from post 1 but lacked the pace to get up into the pocket before the first turn and wound up getting shuffled back into midpack. He launched a bid between horses past the three-furlong pole and finished well for his second straight runner-up finish in a top-level race.He ran a great race, said jockey Seamie Heffernan. With a little bit more luck, I think Im as good as the winner. Hes a bit inexperienced. I was drawn 1, and I wasnt as quick away as the American horses.Good Samaritan surely ran at least as well as the winner in finishing third. Breaking from post 11 under Joel Rosario, he was away decently and tucked over in the tail third of the field, traveling decently into the first turn, but J. S. Choice came out in front of him just as Good Samaritan was leaning into the bend, and Good Samaritan (as with Rodaini outside him) lost his grip on the turn, floating very wide, dropping to the back of the field, and losing precious position. Caught wide on the second turn, he came with a long, sustained bid in a very encouraging performance.As for the winner, who races without Lasix, he has made his last start of 2016, said Lynch, and with a turf pedigree, theres no thought of trying him on dirt. A trip to Royal Ascot next year was mentioned as a possibility, but for now, a winter break looms. And after that, on to Act 2 for Oscar Performance.

LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. SEATTLE -- The Boston Red Sox got their biggest trade deadline acquisition from within.Top prospect Andrew Benintendi joined the team Tuesday prior to 5-4 loss at Seattle following a promotion from Double-A Portland. The plan was to get the 22-year-old outfielder comfortable with the big club before starting him in left field on Wednesday.Its something Ive dreamed of since I was a kid and to finally be here, its an unreal feeling, Benintendi said. Im just going to go out there and contribute the best I can, stick with my game.He pinch hit and stayed in to play left field Tuesday night, going 0 for 2 and striking out to end the game.Benintendi was the seventh overall pick in the 2015 draft as a sophomore out of Arkansas. Hes since emerged as one of the top prospects in baseball after hitting .312 with nine homers, 76 RBI and 16 stolen bases this season between Class A Salem and Double-A Portland. He has 20 homers and 26 stolen bases in 151 minor league games.The left-handed hitter also draws strong marks for his plate discipline, posting a .378 on-base percentage this year.Benintendi played center field in the minors, but with Jackie Bradley Jr. entrenched in center and Mookie Betts in right, Benintendi will break in as a left fielder. Initially, the plan is to platoon him with right-handed hitting Brycce Brentz.ddddddddddddThis is a young player thats advanced through the system obviously very quick, Red Sox manager John Farrell said. A talented guy, theres a lot of excitement around him. But theres no question that theres still going to be a learning curve for him here.Hes going to be down the bottom-third of the order. We dont need to make any more of a focal point of his presence here with his placement in the order. Weve got a very good, young and diverse lineup. We just want him to go out and play, play to his abilities.Boston President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski said he tried finding outfield talent before Mondays non-waiver trading deadline but the cost was too high. He said his scouts kept pushing Benintendi as the guy, even though he has had a brief professional career.It came down to, we think he can come up here and contribute to our club and help us win, Dombrowski said.Benintendi is the first Red Sox prospect to reach the majors the season after he was drafted since Fred Lynn in 1974.I never expected that, he said. I think Mr. Dombrowski has said before that hes done it a few times. It was a pleasant surprise, and Im extremely excited to be here.
