No Breeders' Cup for Bago

Bago will not contest the Breeders’ Cup Classic on October 30 and will instead be targeted at Europe’s major races next season.

The Jonathan Pease-trained colt, winner of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe earlier this month, had been originally set for a showdown with 2003 Classic victor Pleasantly Perfect in this year’s renewal of the 10-furlong contest, held at Lone Star Park, Texas.
