Surprise!
The despised outsider Strange Brew has just won the Breeders’ Cup Mile at 12/1!
Starting from gate four, and settling back from a hot pace, Strange Brew stayed rear-wards most the race before making up some ground to be third on the corner behind the leaders Arctic Slew and Kazzcay.
Under her feather weight Strange Brew was too strong for Arctic Slew and stablemate Monsieur Excellent.
There was a huge cheer from the Aussie contingent, including the trainers of Golden Acres, Foxies Lodge, Chiquita Lodge and JD Kayll Race Club, as the filly ran past the line.
Catching up with the trainer Finlay LaFleur after the race he said “I’m pleasantly surprised mate. She’s out-of-form but is a Triple Crown winner. She bounced back in a big way today.”
He also commented that Monsieur Excellent ran “outstanding”.
Strange Brew’s surprising win has not only saved her from dropping back in class, but has also given her a reprieve from breeding this year. The $1 million Emirates Stakes during the Melbourne Spring Carnival is her main goal.
