2008 Breeders Cup Results

European trainers had celebrated the Breeders’ Cup’s decision to conduct the 2008 World Championships at Santa Anita for the past week, contending that finally their horses would be competing on a level playing field. The conventional dirt track here had been converted to a synthetic Pro-Ride racing surface, for which grass specialists have demonstrated a strong affinity. Following the stunning upset victory by England-based Raven’s Pass in yesterday’s $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic, the European trainers surely might get an argument from many of their American counterparts.

This was the 24th Breeders' Cup. Champions were crowned, pretenders were exposed, handicappers made memorable scores or went home broke and everybody got wet. After two months of dry, unseasonably warm weather, clouds rolled in Wednesday and never left. They dumped 2½ inches of rain that turned the main track into muck. Only on Breeders' Cup day would grass racing have been conducted in North America on such a saturated surface.After the 2 minutes of horse racing excitment, a mud-splattered Robby Albarado grinned as a blanket of purple and yellow flowers was draped over Classic hero Curlin.

Making a persuasive case for Horse of the Year, Curlin also won the Jockey Club Gold Cup and Preakness (both gr. I) this year. He has won six of his nine starts and has never finished out of the money. The Classic victory, worth $2.7 million, increased Curlin's lifetime earnings to $5,102,800 just this year, not bad for any horse, let alone one who sold for just $57,000 as a yearling.

Curlin paid $10.80, $5,20, and $4.20 while Hard Spun paid $7.60 and $5.80. Awesome Gem, a 28-1 shot, returned $9.40 for the show. The exacta paid $70.80, while the $1 trifecta paid $645.30.
