Breeders' Cup Mile: Freddy Head [01:29]
by Ed DeRosa Alain and Gerard Wertheimer's homebred Goldikova (Ire) became the first horse to win three Breeders' Cup races with her third consecutive Breeders' Cup Mile (G1) victory on Saturday at Churchill Downs.

"This is very emotional for me—being the first jockey to win two races [aboard Miesque] and now training this mare to win three times, it's something you can't even dream of," Head said. "It's unreal. She can do anything; she's extraordinary. I don't ...
