Authentic dispelled lingering doubts and proved he is the real deal with a powerful front-running victory against stablemate Improbable in the $6 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic on Saturday at Keeneland Race Course.
The Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve winner had been barely outdueled by the brilliant filly Swiss Skydiver in the Preakness, the final leg of this year’s pandemic-impacted Triple Crown. But he rebounded strongly to give Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert his fourth Classic victory.
