A horse has been scratched from the $1 million Juvenile Fillies Turf in the Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita.

Trainer Mark Casse says Victory to Victory won't run in the mile race Friday because of a splint bone injury. The 2-year-old filly will need a few weeks off.

With the defection, Sweeping Paddy draws into the 14-horse field, giving Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens a mount in the race. The other also eligible horse Con Te Partiro was excluded.
