2005 Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships Results

In the $1.5 million NetJets Breeders' Cup Mile, 5.60-1 second choice Artie Schiller steadied along the inside in fifth early, launched his rally in traffic on the turn, split horses at the top of the stretch, and through the final furlong, battled head to head with 1.35 favorite Leroidesanimaux, finally shaking him off inside 70 yards to prevail by 3/4 length in a time of 1:36.10 for the mile over the Widener turf course. It was just a nose back to 13.70-1 shot Gorella in third, and a head to 17.50-1 shot Whipper in fourth. Winning trainer James Jerkens said, "This horse always runs his eyeballs out. The race happened the way you dream about it. (Jockey Garrett Gomez) saved ground and he got out at just the right time and everything worked out."
