- John Sadler’s four-year-old confirms elite status with victory
- Tuesday storms home to win Filly & Mare Turf
Runners from Europe equalled their best overall result in the 39-year history of the Breeders’ Cup and also set a new record for winners in the meeting’s seven turf events on Saturday, but their individual achievements paled beside a remarkable performance by Flightline in the Breeders’ Cup Classic, as John Sadler’s unbeaten four-year-old crushed his field and confirmed his status as one of the sport’s all-time greats.
The Classic quickly developed into a match as Life Is Good, a Breeders’ Cup winner himself in the Mile last year, set red-hot fractions through the first three-quarters of a mile with Flightline cruising over the dirt on his tail.
