British raider Bridge gets up.

Lambourn trainer Jo Hughes struck gold at Santa Anita as London Bridge ground out a famous victory in the Breeders' Cup Marathon.

Most recently seen finishing fourth in a Listed race over a mile and seven furlongs at Deauville in August, Mike Smith's mount was under pressure a long way out and seemingly with it all to do turning for home some way off the leaders.

But as stamina over the mile-and-six-furlong trip - a distance rarely run in America - kicked in, the Arch colt responded to Smith's urgings and really picked up to collar Blueskiesandrainbows, in the end winning going away.
