RYAN MOORE endured a miserable first taste of racing on American dirt when finishing a mud-splattered last in a Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies that confirmed strong favourite My Miss Aurelia (Steve Asmussen/Corey Nakatani) to be much the best of her age and sex in the US.

"Sheis extremely special," said triumphant trainer Steve Asmussen. "She was everybody's star at every stage and she came through today against a quality field. She ran a great race and I thought she proved herself to be a champion."

A TRAINER having his first Breeders' Cup runner in 16 years and a jockey who had nevereven ridden at the fixture combined with a filly who seemingly had little hope of success as Musical Romance (BIll Kaplan/Juan Leyva) sprang a 20-1 shock to land the Filly & Mare Sprint.

"The draw did us in," said Elusive Kate's trainer John Gosden. "We were wide throughout whereas the first, second and third were drawn five, four and six. She also found the ground too loose."

"This is probably the best victory we've ever had," said Ken Ramsey. "It's right up there with winning the Dubai World Cup. I am thrilled. We bred the mare, we bred the stallion and the horse is named after my granddaughter. It's amazing. We're reduced to tears of joy."

EVEN in defeat Shumoos enhanced Brian Meehan's exceptional Breeders' Cup record when producing an impressive stretch finish to beat all bar odds-on favourite Secret Circle (Bob Baffert/Rafael Bejarano) in the inaugural Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint.

Secret Circle was an eighth Cup winner for Bob Baffert who said: "Rafael said that when he got into the lead he was drifting all over but he is extremely gifted and talented. It's exciting to win a Breeders' Cup race, especially when you have a heavy favourite."
