The Keeneland Breeders’ Cup concludes today following a fine Friday for European-trained runnners as Aidan O’Brien secured a juvenile double with wins for Haffner and Sun Goddess.

George Boughey’s Libertango, ridden by new champion Flat jockey Billy Loughnane, was also victorious in the Juvenile Turf Sprint despite the jockey being a late replacement from Flavien Prat.

That meant European trained runners took a clean sweep of the juvenile turf races on Friday and look well set to impress again this afternoon.

European-trained runners have never won all seven of the turf events at a single Breeders’ Cup, securing six out of seven in their closest attempt four years ago. Will they break that record today or will the US-trained runners make a comeback?

Here is the racecard for today plus all the results for the Breeders’ Cup:
