2012 Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf
Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf
The Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf, run at 1 1/4 miles, is shaping up as a stellar supporting act for the Ladies’ Classic. MARKETING MIX earned a berth into the race with her course and distance win in the Rodeo Drive (GI) September 29 and along with ZAGORA (FR), second in Belmont’s Flower Bowl (GI) September 29, tops the US contingent. Their task could be a tall one, however, as several Europeans have already flexed their muscles stateside. NAHRAIN (GB), who was second in the Filly & Mare Turf last year, earned a berth into the Filly & Mare Turf with her Flower Bowl win, while DREAM PEACE (GB) and I’M A DREAMER (IRE), who finished 3-4 in the race, could head to Santa Anita as well. The latter earned a Filly & Mare Turf bid with her win in Arlington Park’s Beverly D. (GI) in August.
