THE 2015 Breeders’ Cup meeting at Keeneland hosted 13 Grade 1 events, and although its brightest star has now moved into his new home, and both of the other Timeform 130+ rated horses in action have also completed their racing careers, there were also several younger winners whose performances spoke of huge potential for the future.

American Pharoah, now rated the equal of past great Cigar on a Timeform figure of 138, will start his stallion career at Ashford Stud in the spring. Golden Horn (133) will be at Dalham Hall Stud in Newmarket, and Liam’s Map (130) arrived at Lane’s End Farm earlier in the week.
