Irish duo fail to win Marathon at Breeders' Cup meet
Calidoscopio became the oldest horse to win a Breeders’ Cup race when the nine-year-old duly outstayed the opposition in the Marathon at Santa Anita.
Irish raiders Fame And Glory and Sense Of Purpose were out of sorts on the dirt surface and were among the first beaten as the Argentinian entire landed the spoils.
Frankie Dettori made a brave bid for glory on Juniper Pass but had to settle for fourth place behind the 14-1 chance trained by Guillermo Frenkel Santillan and ridden by Aaron Gryder. Grassy was second and Atigun third.
