Conduit Captures Breeders' Cup Turf

Saturday, October 25, 2008

(Sports Network) - Conduit rallied from off the pace to take Saturday's $3 million Breeders' Cup Turf at Santa Anita. The three-year-old colt covered the 1 1/2 miles in 2:23.42 on a firm course.

Ridden by Ryan Moore, Conduit was making his first start in North America after racing exclusively in England. The chestnut colt was taken back by Moore in the 11-horse field as Red Rock Canyon set the early pace.

On the final turn 8-5 favorite Soldier of Fortune took the lead with Out of Control close behind. However, it was Eagle Mountain that led the field into the stretch as Conduit began to rally.

Owned by Ballymacoll Stud, Conduit caught and passed Eagle Mountain in mid- stretch and went on to register a two-length victory. Eagle Mountain held for second followed by Dancing Forever and Soldier of Fortune.

Conduit, trained by Michael Stoute, takes home $1.8 million with the win and has career earnings of $2.5 million. He has nine career starts with five wins.

Conduit returned $13.60, $8.40 and $5.80. Eagle Mountain paid $9.60 and $6.40, and Dancing Forever paid $12.80 to show.
