Turf male

US-based horses have won seven of the last eight championships in this category. Thanks to the strong Breeders’ Cup performances by World Approval and Beach Patrol, the home forces are certain to make it eight of nine.

World Approval added a third consecutive Grade 1 win by out-finishing an accomplished international field in the Mile. Beach Patrol, looking to add to his Grade 1 victories in the Arlington Million and Joe Hirsch Turf Classic, finished a brave second to 14-1 upsetter Talismanic in the Turf.
