2025 Breeders’ Cup Mile at a Glance

European horses have a decided edge in the FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Mile Presented by PDJF. They often take home the trophy, but not all the time. Last year, America’s More Than Looks stopped a string of four straight wins by Euros. Can an American make it two in a row Saturday at Del Mar? Maybe, but as usual, it will not be easy.

Miguel Clement Hopes to Honor Late Father’s Birthday With Breeders’ Cup Success

A huge wave of emotions will pour out if trainer Miguel Clement wins a Breeders’ Cup race Nov. 1.

Saturday would have been the 60th birthday of his late father, Christophe, who built the successful stable that Miguel now runs.

And for a family as close-knit as the Clements, Miguel knows there would be no better way to honor his beloved dad than to stand in the winner’s circle Saturday after a victory at the World Championships.
