One of the hardest to swallow Breeders’ Cup stats – if you’re British or Irish at least – is that those two nations are zero from their last 52 runners in the Mile, a sequence stretching all the way back to Ridgewood Pearl in 1995. Mondialiste went close last year, but it was US mare, Tepin, who got it done, and she will be favoured for the repeat in a race which has seen plenty double – or even triple – up.
