LEXINGTON, Ky. – Having bagged six of the seven Breeders’ Cup Turf races on Friday and Saturday, the European contingent that arrived in Lexington on Oct. 28 was headed home on Sunday and Monday.   The Godolphin horses were scheduled to fly to England on Sunday night, having extracted three trophies and $6.82 million in purse money from the Breeders’ Cup.   The rest of the Euros, including Aidan O’Brien’s highly successful raiding party, travel home on Monday.  Godolphin and trainer Charlie Appleby on Friday won the Juvenile Turf Sprint with Mischief Magic and missed by a nose with Silver Knott in the Juvenile Turf. On Saturday, they began with Creative Force’s third in the Turf Sprint before Modern Games won the Mile and Rebel’s Romance took the Turf. William Buick rode three of those horses with James Doyle on Rebel’s Romance.  :: DRF Bets members get FREE DRF Past Performances - Formulator or Classic. Join now! O’Brien, Coolmore, and jockey Ryan Moore had just as much success, capturing the Juvenile Fillies with Meditate, the Juvenile Turf with Victoria Road, and the Filly and Mare Turf with Tuesday. Stone Age, whom O’Brien trains for Peter Brant, finished a strong second in the Turf, the best race of his career.   European horses from less-prominent operations also made a mark: Dramatised was second in the Juvenile Turf Sprint, Emaraaty Ana was second in the Turf Sprint, and Kinross was third in the Mile.   Five Europeans are remaining in America, with the older mare Dreamloper and 2-year-old filly Lady Hollywood catalogued in Kentucky horse auctions; 2-year-old filly Manhattan Jungle is set to join the barn of Michael McCarthy; Mise En Scene will go for farm rest before likely joining an American trainer; and Go Bears Go is headed to Brookstone Farm in Paris, Ky.   The top two home in the Juvenile Turf have different agendas for 2023. O’Brien said Moore told him after Victoria Road’s race in the Prix de Conde two months ago that the colt would suit the Prix du Jockey Club, the French Derby, and that will be the colt’s major goal during the first half of next year. A race like the French 2000 Guineas would make sense as a prep.   Silver Knott could race in a 2000 Guineas or Derby Trial, Appleby said, but already is intended for an American campaign like Nations Pride’s this year. Nations Pride won two 3-year-old turf stakes in New York and was second in another this season.   Modern Games, the Mile winner Saturday and the Juvenile Turf winner in 2021, stays in training next year at 4, Appleby said, mentioning the Queen Anne on opening day of the Royal Ascot meet in June as a potential season’s debut. As much as anything, Appleby would like to get Modern Games to Santa Anita next fall for a second Mile bid.   Behind Modern Games came a Canadian shipper, Shirl’s Speight, who was an alternate runner when pre-entries were taken but got into the Mile through defections and checked in a very good second at 55-1. Roger Attfield trains Shirl’s Speight and earlier on the card sent out Lady Speightspeare to finish third at 32-1 in the Filly and Mare Turf. Both horses will take up residence in Attfield’s winter base at Payson Park in Florida with an eye toward turf races next spring.   “They did us proud and both ran very well,” said Attfield, who trains the pair for Charles Fipke. “I went in with a lot of confidence, really.”  Kinross finished third in the Mile, missing second by a nose after breaking from post 12, a draw that essentially ruined his mount’s win chances, jockey Frankie Dettori said after the race. Kinross earlier this fall won the Group 1 Prix de la Foret and the Group 1 British Champions Sprint, coming to peak form as a 5-year-old, and England-based trainer Ralph Beckett said after the Mile that the gelding will return to race in 2023. “What else would we do with him?”  Turf winner Rebel’s Romance also is a gelding and ought to be formidable in 2023 after improving sharply this summer and fall. He came into the Turf unbeaten in four grass starts, all this year, two of them Group 1s in Germany. Appleby’s concern over Rebel’s Romance’s suitability to Keeneland’s tight turns proved valid, but still the gelding unleashed a powerful stretch kick to give Appleby and Godolphin a second straight Turf win following Yibir’s in 2021. Rebel’s Romance had success on dirt earlier in his career, but Appleby quickly shot down any chance of another surface switch. The 1 1/2-mile Sheema Classic in March at Meydan seems like a perfect spot for the horse.  Stone Age ran the best race of his career in his last start at age 3, and Moore, who put the 3-year-old in a perfect spot, said his mount could’ve run better with a stronger pace in front of him. Stone Age, O’Brien said, has been improving through the summer and fall and should be set to have his best season next year at age 4.   War Like Goddess, the top American finisher in the Turf, was third, three-quarters of a length behind Stone Age after knifing between horses in upper stretch following a somewhat crowded inside trip. Bill Mott, who trains War Like Goddess for George Krikorian, said immediately after the race he expected the mare to return for a 6-year-old campaign in 2023.  :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
