Breeders Cup 2011 advanced post

The Breeders Cup 2011 will take place at Louisville in Kentucky State at the Churchill Downs on November fifth and sixth; the event has previously been held here for six times Goldikova attempts to go for an unprecedented fourth straight victory in the race. It is a race that the French have done particularly well in and though Goldikova hasn’t been as dominant in Europe this year as she had been in previous seasons, it would be a brave man to doubt her chances of racking up the 4-timer.

No very strong stat on the ages of winners. 4yos have won 5 of the last 10 from approximately 33% of the total runners.

Gender

Fillies/mares (4-2-12) have a fine record in this race, gaining 4 wins and 2 places from just 12 runners, though these stats are skewed by the fact that Goldikova has won the last 3 runnings. French trained females have a record of 4-2-7.

Recent/Past Form

9 of 10 winners finished in the first 3 last time out (5 won)

Last Year Hannon took his Paco Boy to no avail (Moore reported it could not handle the sharp bends) will be putting up the  final stats later - it is one of the great races to look forwards to!
