I OBSERVED in last week’s column that “European-trained horses will do well to win more than a couple of races at the Breeders’ Cup at Keeneland this weekend”. It is fair to say that they did well!

There were famous wins for Ireland from Tarnawa in the Breeders’ Cup Turf and Order Of Australia in the Breeders’ Cup Mile, and for Britain from Glass Slippers in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint and Audarya in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf, plus a number of valiant efforts in defeat.
