Dual Breeders’ Cup glory for William Buick on Yibir and Space Blues

• Yibir wins the Turf, Space Blues the Mile for Charlie Appleby
• Knicks Go takes Classic, with controversial Medina Spirit second

Charlie Appleby and William Buick completed a double on the second day of the Breeders' Cup at Del Mar and took their total for the two-day meeting to three victories as Yibir and Space Blues took the Turf and Mile respectively on Saturday.

Yibir took a strong hold in the early stages but still arrived with an irresistible run under a perfectly timed ride by Buick, collaring Aidan O'Brien's outsider Broome, ridden by Frankie Dettori, a few strides from the post.
