"We had planned her schedule around aiming for the Breeders' Cup."

Eclipse Partners bought Sharing, by Speightstown out of a Pleasantly Perfect mare, at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Sale in 2018 for $350,000.

"It was a long time between drinks, though." said Motion.

"The Wests, Gary and Mary, own Flashback," said Glen Brok who stands Flashback at his Diamond B Farm for $3,500. "The Wests also own Maximum Security, who was disqualified from winning the Kentucky Derby. We just got Flashback last year. He stood in Kentucky before that. He bred about 40 mares last year."

"He's a big, beautiful and very correct horse, said Brok of Flashback. "He has a great eye. He's a nice horse to be around. He's certainly enjoying his second vocation."

British Idiom settled into sixth early on in the Breeders' Cup, moved into contention on the final turn and was fully extended to win by a neck.
