In the 27 running's to date of the BC Mile, the race has been won by a filly or mare 8 different times. By far the most among any of the Breeders Cup races that are open to both male and female runner's. Royal Heroine won the first running in 84'. The great filly Miesque in 87' and 88'. Ridgewood Pearl in 95'. Six Perfections in 03'. And of course, the great Goldikova in the 08', 09', and 10'.

If they retire Frankel at the end of this season he will cover Goldikova, she is looking for a husband!!

How, may I ask? Dirt horses have always run consistently faster than european horses at the same distance. If you look at Frankel's most recent win, it was terribly slow as opposed to Goldikova's American Mile.

@queenluciaa sure dirt causes nothing but injurys horses were designed to run on turf a turf running horse will always be superior to a dirt/all weather horse

That horse is a freak of nature!

Thats what a steep crop is. Its so powerful, any horse can have their day. Not like Big Brown vs. the World in 08'. Its much more deep.

@queenluciaa - How is that group you speak of fairing?. You forgot Mucho Macho Man( Who will win the Derby), aside from Dialed In?. Khat, and Dancing were embarressed by a 48-1 Lilacs & Laces....I picked Arthurs Tale(off an Allowance win, and 2 weeks rest) to beat Mo, and he did :). The 3 year old Crop this year is not Strong. Look at Pluck, cannot beat an allowance field, and finishes last in a G3 at Keeneland, and his connections want to go to the 2000 Guineas, and Derby?. DreamAhead, Hooray.

I get it, your biased to European horses. I an agree with you about Zenyatta, her career was all smoke and mirrors. But the likes of Frankel is trained strictly to turf, you don't know how they would fair to America's dirt surface. This years crop of 3 year-olds is extremely talented. Including Uncle Mo, Dialed In, Kathmanblu, Turbulent Descent,Dancinginherdreams, and so on. You have Snow Fairy and Frankel, and who else?

[Nucleo85Torino]

@queenluciaa - Also you do know that Sea the Stars, and Zarkava are simply far too classy of Champions to be mentioned alongside the likes of Zenyatta, and any other hyped up US Media lead fantasies you call champions. The ONLY truly great horses from the last decade who can even come close to a Euro Star like those stated above is Ghostzapper, Curlin, and Rachel Alexandra(2009 Campaign). Even their 3 yr old PHENOM FRANKEL would beat this crop of 3 yr olds in America this year.

@queenluciaa - Wow pretty bold statement, considering The quality of horses the Euro's have been pumping out the last 5 years?.We get a LOT of Euro's up here at Woodbine, because of our world class Turf Course,and New(unfortunately) Poly track and they have some of the most versatile runners in the world. Last time I checked the Dubai World cup was run on Dirt for a 13yrs. Americans are bred for speed, and use Drugs. Euro's compete drug free. That should be step one of their dominance alone.
