Review - Breeders' Cup Mile
Live Oak Plantation’s World Approval became the first favorite to win a Breeders’ Cup race Saturday at Del Mar as he posted a 1 1/4-length victory over Lancaster Bomber in taking the 34th running of the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Mile.
Midnight Storm and Heart to Heart set a contested pace with World Approval tracking a few lengths off the leaders. Velasquez swung World Approval to the outside on the far turn, collared Heart to Heart at midstretch and drew off.
World Approval came first followed closely by Lancaster Bomber and Blackjackcat at second and third positions respectively.
