The Ireland-bred colt Conduit gave European-based horses their fourth win on the second day of the 2008 Breeders’ Cup and race horse trainer Sir Michael Stoute’s fourth Breeders’ Cup career victory, including his third in the Breeders’ Cup Turf.
“The jockey rode a masterful race and had him in the right position,” race horse trainer Sir Michael Stoute said. “When he asked him, the jockey got him into gear and I thought from a long way out that he was going to come and pick them up and he did. I was very confident running him on the course here because he’s raced well on firm turf before. I was not worried about the heat today because he’s a young horse and quite fit.”
Out of Control was fifth in the 2008 Breeders’ Cup Turf at Santa Anita followed by Red Rock Canyon, Winchester, Better Talk Now, Spring House, Red Rocks and Grand Couturier.
