The winner of this year’s Kentucky Derby runs away with the Breeders' Cup Classic. The sun shone for two days, temperatures were in the ’70s and the trees were a burst of color. The backdrop could not have been more perfect for the 2020 Breeder’s Cup at Keeneland but most horse racing fans had to watch the races at home.
For the nearly 4,000 who were at the track as the sun set on the final race Saturday night, it was a chance to see the Kentucky Derby winner Authentic at his best. In one of the deepest Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) fields in years, the colt won the $6-million dollar showdown by 2 ½ lengths. Following in Authentic’s heels was Improbable to place and Global Campaign to show.
