MASTER OF THE SEAS runs down MAWJ in Breeders' Cup Mile thriller

Charlie Appleby enhanced his fine Breeders’ Cup record as Master Of The Seas flew home late to deny fellow Godolphin raider Mawj in a rip-roaring conclusion to the Breeders’ Cup Mile at Santa Anita.
With Saeed bin Suroor’s 1000 Guineas heroine tracking the hot pace set by Japanese challenger Win Carnelian, in contrast William Buick had Master Of The Seas held up towards the rear of the field from his outside draw in stall 14.
The order remained unaltered swinging the turn for home when Oisin Murphy decided to angle out Mawj and send the ultra-tough Classic winner for home in what looked a race-winning move.
However, Buick’s patience was rewarded and as the wire approached, Master Of The Seas had one last lung-busting thrust in him to edge out Mawj and lead home an all-British and all-Godolphin one-two.
It was the third straight victory in the Breeders’ Cup Mile for both Appleby and Buick following their successes with Space Blues (2021) and Modern Games (2022), while the Moulton Paddocks handler now has 10 Breeders’ Cup victories to his name.

1:26 Look at the amount of ground Master Of The Seas had to make up as they turned for home. Amazing effort!

[@Essydyk]

I think it's made up about 8 lengths in the last furlong and a half. Probably 6 lengths in the last furlong alone where it really got going.

Well done Godolphin. It's a shame Charlie's horses were so out of form for much of the season. This performance was similar to Yabir's effort in the Turf race two years ago.

[@rivergold4835]

Very similar. A Godolphin horse wearing blinkers and coming ultra wide with William Buick aboard. A touch of the Déjà vu.
