- By A.J. Ryder on September 26, 2012 17:06 GMT
Snow Fairy has had her Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf credentials firmed up by connections recently and she can pull off another major coup here by winning this race. The globetrotting mare was purchased for a pittance but has gone on to win a multi-million dollar haul.

She's going into this race with a slim 2/1 price tag, putting her just a nose ahead of John Gosden's The Fugue, who trades at 3/1.
The Fugue jumped to prominence by winning the Group 3 Musidora Stakes on her seasonal debut and then capturing the Group 1 Nassau Stakes at Goodwood.
Both Marketing Mix and I'm A Dreamer trade at 10/1 for this race and this pair finished 1-2 in the Grade 1 Beverley D Stakes at Arlington.
The Breeders' Cup Mile looks to be all about Wise Dan, who has produced a string of electric performances this year. He came second to Ron The Greek by a slim head in the Stephen Foster Stakes at Churchill Downs back in June but, that blemish aside, he has taken five of his last six with wins over some of America's best runners. His last significant loss came to American turf legend Gio Ponti at Keeneland in October of 2011.
He is one of the most exciting American turf horses in quite some time and he will be pointed towards the mile over the Classic and should enjoy his 3/1 ante post price – the punters certainly will.
The Ladies Classic looks to be one of the deepest races in quite some time with a 3/1 favourite assigned to Royal Delta – who captured the race last year at Churchill Downs. My Miss Aurelia pulled off a gutty late move to grind out a win against classy filly Questing, who rides in Godolphin silks. The real wild card for this one looks to be Awesome Feather, who is undefeated and by Santa Anita specialist Awesome Again. She trades at 7/1 alongside Include Me Out and It's Tricky.
