The recipient of solid tote action from 10-1 into 9-2 at the off, T and E Racing's Possiblemente (Tale of Ekati) took over for good entering the final eighth of a mile of Saturday's $1.75-million GII Turf Sprint Stakes at Kentucky Downs and held off a late bid from 18-1 Golden Afternoon (Goldencents) to earn an all-expenses-paid trip to the GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Keeneland on Oct. 31.A good portion of that pari-mutuel action could be attributed to jockey Jose Ortiz, who opted to ride these rich races at Kentucky Downs over remaining at Saratoga, where he was neck-and-neck with Manny Franco for leading rider honors at the prestigious summer meeting. And the decision keeps on paying dividends, as Ortiz was making the Turf Sprint the eighth victory from his last 13 rides.Away in good order from gate six, the gelding–who won his maiden for $16,000 at Tampa Bay Downs in December 2022–argued the early pace outside of Mondogetsbuckets (Omaha Beach) around the first bend and down the side of the course. John the Beer Man (More Than Ready), favored off his all-the-way success in Saratoga's GII Troy Stakes on Aug. 9–was also prominent, though was consigned to a wide run beneath Kendrick Carmouche after departing from gate nine in the scratched-down field.Mondogetsbuckets still had his head in front as the Turf Sprint field raced into the false straight and past the quarter pole, but Ortiz went to work in earnest three-sixteenths out, and Possiblemente hit the front with a furlong to travel before holding sway. Golden Afternoon rounded out the exacta and Mondogetsbuckets lasted for third ahead of 42-1 We're in Trouble (World of Trouble).Purchased for $65,000 out of the 2025 Fasig-Tipton Digital February Sale, Possiblemente was claimed for $50,000 out of sixth-place effort over the Woodbine synthetic track last October and was third for a $40,000 tag at Turfway in January before taking an optional claimer going short the following month.After doubling up in Florence Mar. 12, Possiblemente was a running-on fifth in the May 2 GII Turf Sprint at Churchill, validated odds of 4-1 in the May 30 Jacques Cartier Stakes at Woodbine and was a latest second in the July 5 Harvey Pack Stakes at the Spa, with Ortiz in the boot for the first time. “Jose Ortiz has won with 8 of his past 13 mounts… he'd win on a broomstick!” – @Michael_WronaThe $1.75 million Kentucky Downs Turf Sprint (G2) went to #6 POSSIBLEMENTE ($11.58) under @jose93_ortiz at @KYDownsRacing. @mjsharp75_joe trains the son of Tale of Ekati. pic.twitter.com/MgtOywmVXM— FanDuel Racing (@FanDuel_Racing) September 5, 2026Pedigree Notes:Possiblemente is one of three winners from three starters out of his stakes-winning dam, a daughter of this breeder's 2009 GI Del Mar Oaks heroine Internallyflawless.
