Liam's Map best in Dirt Mile Liam's Map was a very impressive winner of the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Keeneland. Not much went right for the red-hot favourite, who generally races prominently but was not that quickly away from stall three and also keen at times for jockey Javier Castellano. Eventually settled in fourth, albeit in a pocket, Todd Pletcher's once-beaten grey just needed hands and heels down the straight to haul in Dubai World Cup third Lea, winning with plenty in hand in a fast time. Red Vine was third. Ryan Moore and War Envoy never really threatened and finished well to the back of the field. Co-owner Vincent Viola confirmed the four-year-old Liam's Map will now be retired and said: "I saw at the top of the stretch how he was turning, his stride was really comfortable. Once I saw him with that stride it reminded me of the first time we saw him breeze."
