DAN STORMS TO MILE GLORY

Quote:
Wise Dan lived up to his Hollywood billing with a ruthless triumph in the Breeders' Cup Mile at Santa Anita.
The Charles Lopresti-trained five-year-old had been touted as one of the best milers to emerge from America for some time and lived up to the hype in this Grade One.
Ballydoyle's Excelebration got going late on in the day to take fourth place, while the Freddie Head-trained Moonlight Cloud was a shade disappointing.

GORGEOUS GEORGE TAKES JUVENILE TURF
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Aidan O'Brien hit the target for the first time at this year's Breeders' Cup meeting when George Vancouver struck in the Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita.
Ballydoyle's inmate was delivered to perfection by Ryan Moore to take this Grade One over a mile in some style.
Whereas George Vancouver had a dream passage towards the line, the Roger Charlton-trained Dundonnell endured a fractious journey and finished fourth under James Doyle. Noble Tune came home in second place, while Balance The Books was third.
