The 25th Breeders’ Cup was one of the best, with the highlight being Curlin’s upset by Raven’s Pass in the BC Classic. But there were many other great moments, such as:
The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies: Stardom Bound wins with a move that recalled Arazi, sweeping from the back to first in about a quarter-mile.
The Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint: Desert Code pays more than 31-1 in winning the inaugural Turf Sprint on Santa Anita’s downhill course in the final stride.
The Breeders’ Cup Distaff: Zenyatta gets her ninth win in as many starts with a great 7-wide last-to-first move.
The Breeders’ Cup Marathon: Muhannak wins the longest race in Breeders’ Cup history in a photo finish.
And, my pick as the best race of the weekend:
The Breeders’ Cup Mile: Goldikova just gets in at the rail at the furlong pole and bursts away to win. A really brilliant ride, and she looked beaten turning for home.
