It's official, Ralph Beckett and Rossa Ryan have a Breeders' Cup win to go along with their Arc win last month, and on the field Europe is 4-4 so far!

BREEDERS' CUP TURF SPRINT RESULT:

There's also no news yet on whether Ryan Moore is okay after being released from Believing before this race. He is scheduled to be on board the City Of Troy in the Classic in less than two hours.

KEEP ALL TICKETS! The preliminary result is that Starlust beat Motorious, AG Bullet and Star Of Mystery, but Rossa Ryan pushes to the right and nudges out of place Isivunguvungu in the last furlong.

This is a great ride Rossa Ryan To Ralph Beckett Outsiders – but there is a request!

Bradsell raced into second place at the turn, but Cogburn leads, it is clear…

Cogburn turns inside three times and starts to tire. Deep in the final furlong, Cogburn gives way and Starlust come through to win!

Let's get started with the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint!

They very quickly removed the saddle from Believing and she was led away. Begin reloading.

Believe was scratched and the runners were taken out of the gates.

Ryan Moore thought he had played in the stands and sat down.

On the way to the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint yesterday, the Europeans were three on the grass. So can they extend the series?

Big Evs, Whoever is drawn at 11 is currently 18-1 on the local Toto list, with Bradsell, Who is the widest of all 12, with single-digit odds of 8:1. Cogburn, The chances of a repeat of his blitz attack in Saratoga with Charlie Appleby are now 4:5 Star of Mystery – This year he is a regular in North American turf sprints, although with just one win, in a Class 3 race at Saratoga, which is also drawing support.

I think I'm right when I say that Cogburn was the first horse ever to fall under 60 seconds on this track at Saratoga. It's a somewhat unusual journey, but there have been many before him who have tried it.

Bradsell And Big Evs will be very familiar to European fans, and her riders, Hollie Doyle and Tom Marquand, are of course very familiar with each other, having tied the knot in 2022. Both horses and their riders were at Nunthorpe in York in August, where Bradsell emerged victorious Believe, who is also in the field here, in second place.

The WiFi has returned for now, so we're keeping our fingers crossed. There are 20 minutes to publish lawn sprint, with a strong challenge from Europe – Big Evs, Faith And Bradsell are the headliners – against a first-class, US-trained sprinter: Steve Asmussen Cogburn. The Americans called him “the fastest horse in the world” after he broke the track record Jaipur in Saratoga:

The final break came just as the Filly & Mare Sprint was nearing its climax, and what an end it was. Scylla And Ways and means were among the horses making a four-way charge for the lead in the final furlong… just for soul of an angel, who missed the kick and almost faded after a knockout to go around them all and claim a surprise victory.

Please excuse the frequent interruptions to service at the moment. Not for the first time, the richest and most powerful nation on earth is apparently unable to organize a stable Wi-Fi connection in the media room of a global sporting event.

Ways And Means follows the lead

Society and Scylla are close at the top, a second opening quarter under 22

Every now and then in the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint!

They walk towards the gates, Vahva And Scylla, The horse races with riding legend Mike Smith are also popular with punters.

Steve Asmussen Company Next you bet, she won Ballerina handicap last time in Saratoga:

We've been racing here since what feels like dawn – American fans feel short-changed by fewer than a dozen races on one card – but the Breeders' Cup races begin in about 20 minutes with the seven-furlong Filly & Mare Sprint.

The likely favorite here is ways and means, a Grade 1 winner at Saratoga in August who has a three-race winning streak.

A little about Del Mar. This is a beautiful and historic track co-founded by the legendary crooner and lawn fan. Bing Crosbywho stood at the gate on opening day in July 1937 to personally distribute the first ticket. In fact, the current season here, which runs until December 1st, is officially the “Bing Crosby” season, and this is a track that likes to recognize and celebrate its place in racing history.

A year after it opened, it was the scene of a famous match race between the great Seabiscuit and Ligaroti…

… and there are exhibits, photos and old posters hanging on the walls throughout the stands – did you know that, for example? Betty Grable Was there an avid racehorse owner and fan here?
