Arcangues was running in the Classic -- the Cup's biggest event -- but as a second-tier grass horse from Europe, he would go off at odds of 133- to-1 in his first race on dirt.
Arcangues loped along in 10th place early in the 11/4-mile race, moved into contention on the second turn, took aim at pacesetter Bertrando in the stretch and rolled past him to win by 2 lengths in the biggest upset in Breeders' Cup history.
Bailey found out later that Arcangues had a back problem that was exacerbated on undulating turf courses in Europe.
