ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) - Three geldings, including two bred in California, scored victories in the Breeders' Cup while European horses won three other races Saturday.
Irish import Goldikova successfully defended her title in the $2 million Mile against 10 male rivals, setting the stage for Zenyatta to go against 13 boys in the $5 million Classic later at Santa Anita.
Zenyatta's 13-0 career mark was on the line in North America's richest race, with such stars as Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird, Belmont Stakes winner Summer Bird and Ireland-based Rip Van Winkle looking to send her into expected retirement with a blemish on her record.
