Rebel's Romance triumphed in the Breeders' Cup Turf for the second time, becoming the first horse to achieve this feat in non-consecutive years, under the guidance of jockey William Buick. The six-year-old gelding, trained by Charlie Appleby, took the lead on the final turn and held off Japanese contender Rousham Park to secure the victory. The race was marred by the tragic death of Jayarebe, who collapsed post-race, suspected to have suffered a cardiac event. Appleby praised Rebel's Romance for his performance, noting his popularity and resilience in competition. This win marked Appleby's 11th Breeders' Cup victory and added to Rebel's impressive career record. The event highlighted both the excitement of the race and the somber reality of equine sport.
