LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Pluck rallied to win the $1 million Juvenile Turf at the Breeders' Cup after another horse fell early in the race.

Pluck ran one mile in 1:36.98 under Garrett Gomez and paid $14.80 to win at Churchill Downs on Saturday. Soldat was second, followed by Willcox Inn and Madman Diaries.

Gomez and trainer Todd Pletcher completed a sweep of the juvenile turf races, teaming to win the $1 million Juvenile Fillies Turf on Friday.

Rough Sailing fell on the first turn and dropped jockey Rosie Napravnik to the turf. The horse ran on before being caught and vanned off. Napravnik bounced up and walked away.

The on-call veterinarian says Rough Sailing came up lame in his right front leg.

Workforce, the morning-line favorite, was scratched Saturday morning because his trainer said the turf course was too firm.
