2009 Breeders' Cup Turf Results

A small but wide-open field, led by defending champion Conduit, who enjoyed a solid season in Europe, and his classy stablemate Spanish Moon. The filly Dar Re Mi, a two-time Group I winner is also getting some backing. Red Rocks, winner of the 2006 Turf, also returns.

Conduit and Dar Re Mi were fourth and fifth, respectively, in Europe's top race, the Arc de Tri¬omphe, but the efforts were better than they seem on paper; both were beaten less than four lengths by Sea The Stars, who many have touted as an all-time great.

The American contingent is led by the flashy Presious Passion, who will almost certainly lead by a large margin early, and Sword Dancer winner Telling.
