THE Breeders’ Cup at Santa Anita provided the top international flat action last weekend, with European highlights being the one-two-three of Karakontie, Anodin, and Trade Storm in the Mile, and Toast Of New York’s outstanding effort in the Classic, in which he failed by a nose to take one of the world’s richest races.

Brief pedigree notes on each of the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup winners are available on The Irish Field’s website.
