Breeders Cup Dirt Mile 2011 - Caleb's Posse blasts to victory
The Dirt Mile is for 3 year old and up and is for both sexes male and female and is for a purse of $1 million at the Breeders Cup. As it is a dirt race this race is likely to be contested by the home contingent as the Europeans are not keen to take on the American horses on what they consider is their strong suit that is dirt racing.
The European horse Mastercraftsman went in as favourite in 2009 but he was unable to cope on the dirt and was beaten by Furthest Land which highlights the difficulties that European horses have in this race. The likely favourite for the race this season is The Factor who has shown some good form for trainer Bob Baffert this season and could run a massive race.
