The $2 million Netjets Breeders' Cup Mile (G1) saw 13 older horses go 1 mile on the soft turf course. Cosmonaut set a pace of 24.26, 49.54, and 1:14.65, and held the lead to the 1/8 pole. However, Kip Deville, who had stalked him in third the whole way, found running room at the top of the stretch and surged to the lead at the 1/16 pole, holding off late-running favorite Excellent Art to win by a length in 1:39.78. Pacesetter Cosmonaut finished another length back in third.
