Midday wins Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf

ARCADIA, Calif. (AP)—Midday has won the $2 million Filly & Mare Turf, snapping an 0 for 6 streak in the Breeders’ Cup by veteran European trainer Henry Cecil.

Ridden by Thomas Queally, Midday came up along the rail to beat Pure Clan by a length Friday at Santa Anita. The 3-year-old Britain-bred ran 1 miles in 1:59.14 and paid $6.60, $4.80 and $3 as the co-2-1 wagering choice, the first favorite to win after upsets in the first three races.

Pure Clan, ninth in the race last year, returned $7.80 and $4. Defending champion Forever Together, the other favorite, paid $2.40 to show.

Britain-bred Visit was fourth in the field of eight for Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel, who has been away from his stable most of the year with an undisclosed illness.
