Gezora wins Breeders’ Cup 2025 after Ethical Diamond’s triumph for Willie Mullins

The 28-1 success of Ethical Diamond for Willie Mullins was the highlight of a memorable afternoon at Del Mar

Splendora paid $7.80 to a $2 stake - a shade under 3-1.

Hope Road cruised through the race until the final turn and eased to the front just over a furlong out, but Splendora rocketed past soon afterwards and the race was as good as over. That's a 20th Breeders' Cup winner for Bob Baffert, who is now just one behind Aidan O'Brien, the winning-most trainer in Breeders' Cup history since about 18 hours ago, when Gstaad took the Juvenile Turf.
