- Winner leads from start to finish under John Velazquez
- Aidan O’Brien saddles first three in Breeders’ Cup Mile
British and Irish stables enjoyed one of their best ever days at the Breeders’ Cup meeting on Saturday as Aidan O’Brien sent out an unprecedented 1-2-3 in the Breeders’ Cup Mile after earlier wins for Kevin Ryan’s Glass Slippers and James Fanshawe’s Audarya in the Turf Sprint and Filly & Mare Turf respectively. A clean sweep of the day’s events on grass was complete when Dermot Weld’s Tarnawa landed the Turf.
Then Authentic, the Kentucky Derby winner, brought down the curtain on the meeting with an authoritative success in the Classic under a copybook frontrunning ride by John Velazquez. The 4-1 chance was Bob Baffert’s fourth winner of the race in the last seven years.
