Breeders' Cup Juvenile field trimmed by Derby connections
Roman Ruler tops a compact 2 year old division as D. Wayne Lukas and Nick Zito lead strong Derby links into the Juvenile. Contenders include Consolidator Sun King Proud Accolade Afleet Alex and Birdstone with majors weighing in on the smaller field.
