Breeders' Cup Classic: Mucho Macho Man wins $5m race as Europe dominates other races The five winners equalled the European tally of successes of 2008, also at Santa Anita, but then it was run on an all-weather surface rather than dirt, and is one short of the record. Nevertheless it will go down as a great meeting for Europe and, more particularly, the British who had four of them. Having not had the best of luck on Friday, Moore, the one European jockey rated above all others by the Americans, was on fire on Saturday. On Magician, the Irish 2000 Guineas winner who had not run since Ascot, he rode the perfect waiting race and finished with a wet sail to nail The Fugue, the favourite, strides from the line. They were his fifth and sixth Breeders" Cup winners respectively. "She was on it but wasn't trying to tear off," said Moore afterwards. She was the best filly and I rode her that way. I felt if I went forward from that draw I could control the race and I tried to keep it simple. Stoute, for whom Dank was a sixth Breeders" Cup winner, admitted he had been concerned during the early part of the race. As good as Moore's ride was the training performance by Aidan O'Brien to produce the colt ready to win after four and a half months off. If William Buick made an error on The Fugue it was to go too soon. Her best efforts have been when held up as long as possible but, despite being beautifully placed going into the bend, he may have had nightmares about a repeat of last year when he was locked up with nowhere to go. He made up his ground on the home bend which forced him three wide and he was racing from some way out. The end result left him in tears after seemed an almost certain victory snatched from him. The Mile went to last year's winner and the reigning American Horse of the Year Wise Dan who was given a well judged ride to hit the front in the last 100 yards under Jose Lezcano, a substitute jockey for regular rider Johnny Valazquez who ruptured his spleen in a fall earlier in the day. Two weeks after winning the QEII it was probably a bridge too far for Richard Hannon's Olympic Glory who beat one home while even Ryan Moore could not work his magic on Cristoforu Columbo who was tailed off for most of the way before running on late on. "I was going as fast as I could," said Richard Hughes. So I couldn't fill him up. It was probably a tad fast for him and I think on decent ground he could step up to a mile and a quarter now. It was a rare disappointment at one of Europe's most productive Breeders Cup.
