Review - Breeders' Cup Turf
Godolphin’s Talismanic reached the front in deep stretch to prevail by a half-length over Beach Patrol with defending champion Highland Reel another neck back in third in the 34th running of the $4 million Breeders’ Cup Turf at Del Mar racetrack.
Oscar Performance, winner of last year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (G1), set the pace with Beach Patrol and Highland Reel tracking him all the way around with positions unchanged until upper stretch. There, Oscar Performance dropped back and Talismanic split horses to surge to the front.
Talismanic came first followed closely by Beach Patrol and Highland Reel at second and third positions respectively.
