Many more people have heard of the St Leger or King George than the United Nations and Turf Classic, and I'm not American or English

Congrats to Conduit,but I must say that Presious Passions performance was out of this world! Remember this is a 12 furlong race and this hombre went out an cut fractions of 23 flat, 45 flat,1:09 1/5,1:34d 2/5,and the final time was 2:23 3/5! 99.9 % of the horses in the world would have went flat like a cheap tire at the head of the stretch after running at that sprint style pace. Yet PP was headed by conduit,and he came right back at him. I was very of the American Presious Passion,very proud!!

@SvendBosanvovski Watch the 2009 UN and you'll see that this was not a suicide ride, this was pure Presious Passion. He opened up 20 in the United Nations and set fast fractions very similar to this and still had enough to hold off a fast closing german bred whose name I cant spell He always goes to the lead and the more he opens up the better chance he has. This is his running style and this is how he does things.

Such a shame they gelded Presious Passion. Very good looking, talented horse, great pedigree. What a waste!

Was this not a month after he finished 3rd to Sea The Stars in the Arc?. Just makes you think what STS could have done at Santa Anita in either the Turf, or Classic. 2008 as well with Zarkava. I was happy for Conduit he certainly deserved everything he accomplished

Precious Passion's performance was super courageous, but the jockey should have been suspended for slaughtering his chances with a suicide ride like that. With a decent jockey on its back it could be anything.

I was looking back on Conduit's lifetime race record, and saw that he actually raced on the all-weather in the UK 3 different times in his career. He actually broke his maiden on the all-weather at Wolverhampton. Finished 3rd in a handicap at Kempton, and won again at Wolverhampton. Since he could handle the surface, I wonder why they never entered him in the Classic on the pro-ride? Especially since Sir Michael Stoute also had Spanish Moon in this B.C. Turf with a legit chance to win?

Boy, did the 2010 Breeders Cup Turf ever miss having horses of this class. Conduit a G1 St. Leger, G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner, and 2-time B.C. Turf winner. Dar Re Mi a G1 Sheema Classic and G1 Yorkshire Oaks winner, Spanish Moon a G1 Grand Prix De Saint-Cloud winner, G2 Prix Foy winner, and a 2nd, beaten a nose in the G1 Hong Kong Vase. We had a handicapper in Dangerous Midge win the 2010 running, then finished dead last of 16 in the 2011 Sheema Classic. What a joke!!

I just wish Precious Passion would've won

I think they will not run if workforce is engaged in the race, he alone will be enough to win the cup !!!!!! lol, no interest for 3 horses have the same owner.
