Caleb's Posse sat well back of the early leaders, made a move on the turn, and unleashed a tremendous late kick in the lane to easily win the 2011 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile. Preakness winner Shackleford came in second, while long-shot Tres Borrachos rounded out the trifecta. The Factor set the early pace but faded badly at the top of the stretch.
Trained by Donnie Von Hemmel and ridden by Rajiv Marach, Caleb's Posse is a three-year-old son of Posse.
