Maker's Mark Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf

Already a young English classic winner, Tuesday is now a young Breeders’ Cup winner.

Campaigned by the Coolmore-affiliated Westerberg, Susan Magnier, Michael Tabor, and Derrick Smith, Tuesday rallied from seventh – surging past recent two-time Grade 1 winner In Italian – to post a one-length victory in the $2 million, Grade 1 Maker’s Mark Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf Nov. 5 at Keeneland.

A 3-year-old daughter of Galileo, Tuesday set a course record in completing the 1 3/16-mile test for fillies and mares in 1:51.88 on firm ground.

“She did everything beautifully today,” said winning jockey Ryan Moore. “I thought she would have won a couple of more this year, but she won the (Cazoo Oaks at Epsom) and a Breeders’ Cup. So it’s a fantastic double for any racehorse to achieve.”

The victory marked the third Breeders’ Cup win of the weekend for Coolmore, trainer Aidan O’Brien, and Moore after they teamed on Friday to win the Juvenile Turf with Victoria Road and the Juvenile Fillies Turf with Meditate. Tuesday improved her career record to three wins, nine seconds and one third from nine starts with $1,825,086 in earnings.–Frank Angst
