Folsom Blues set as favourite for Juvenile Turf on Breeders’ Cup day one

At Keeneland on day one of the Breeders’ Cup 2026, Folsom Blues was set to go off as favourite in the Juvenile Turf.

The live blog noted the first race was scheduled for 6.55pm GMT (2.55pm ET). A commentator on the track feed suggested that if Libertango wins, Flavien Prat would still be due his cut of the prize money because the switch was so late, though the author said they could not be certain without the Kentucky rulebook.

George Boughey was described as talking to a track reporter about Billy Loughnane’s unexpected appearance on Libertango, and the author said they felt guilty because Flavien had ridden a Graded winner for them and that they had sent him a message apologising, adding that Billy was their retained rider.
