Mondialiste wins $1 million Woodbine Mile (The Associated Press)
Irish-bred Mondialiste rallied to beat Lea by a half-length Sunday in the Grade 1 $1 million Woodbine Mile to earn a spot in the Breeders’ Cup Mile next month at Keeneland. Ridden by Feargal Lynch for trainer David O’Meara, the 5-year-old Mondialiste finished in 1:36.66 in his North American debut on the rain-soaked turf course. Coming off consecutive victories in England, Mondialiste is the first Irish-bred winner in the history of the race.
