LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP)—Court Vision pulled off a 64-1 upset in the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Mile as three-time champion Goldikova finished third in her final race.
Court Vision nipped Turallure by a nose on Saturday at Churchill Downs.
Goldikova, the champion mare from France, failed in her quest for an unprecedented fourth straight Breeders’ Cup win. She battled her way to a brief lead in deep stretch but could not hold off the pair of late challengers.
Goldikova held third, as a claim of foul by Patrick Valenzuela aboard Courageous Cat was disallowed.
Court Vision paid $131.60, the second highest payoff in the world championships after the $269.20 Arcangues paid in the 1993 Classic.
Robby Albarado was aboard for trainer Dale Romans as Court Vision ran the one mile on the turf in 1:37.05.
