Take a stroll through this roll call of Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf champions, and you will notice a heavy contingent of Europeans. Sporting a grass racing legacy in a league of its own, we can expect another deep router from this group will rise once again out of a well-matched field. What will be the strategy for these Europeans?

Charlie Appleby is far from a stranger to North American racing, and the British trainer credits his rather remarkable success to not only the quality stock provided by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum’s Godolphin program but also to the experience gained on the ground.
