Breeders' Cup Turf Betting 2012 - St Nicholas Abbey Going For Famous Repeat
The Breeders Cup turf is something of a specialist race for the Europeans as it run on the Turf over the one and half miles, the same distance as the English Derby. There will be a strong challenge from overseas who will be looking to take their chance at the $2 million prize fund.
The Sir Michae Stoute trained horse Conduit won the race in 2008 and 2009 while we saw St Nicholas Abbey claim the win last season for Aidan O'Brien making this one for the Europeans. St Nicholas Abbey will be back once again this season looking for a second win in the race and he will be well backed in the betting as you would expect.
