2005 Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships Results

In the $1 million Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf, 15.10-1 longshot Intercontinental took the lead soon after the gate opened, and never looked back, leading every step of the way to record a 1 1/4 length win over the late-running 2.30-1 favorite Ouija Board in a time of 2:02.34 for 1 1/4 miles over the "good" inner turf course. It was just a neck back to 9.10-1 shot Film Maker in third. Winning trainer Bobby Frankel said, "I told (jockey) Rafael (Bejarano) to be as quiet as he can making the lead and don't move. He couldn't have ridden a better race. She appeared to be rank in many of her races. (This time) it looked to the naked eye she was never rank at any point." Intercontinental is a full sister to Banks Hill, who won this same race at 2001, also at Belmont Park.
