Review - Breeders' Cup Classic
Winchell Thoroughbreds and Three Chimneys Farm’s Gun Runner went to the front shortly after the break and never trailed as he defeated Collected by 2 ¼ lengths to win the 34th running of the Breeders’ Cup Classic.
Defending champion and favored Arrogate finished in a dead heat for fifth. It was the fifth victory in six starts in 2017 for Gun Runner and fourth Grade 1 triumph. It also avenged his lone defeat to Arrogate, who had prevailed by 2 ¼ lengths in the Dubai World Cup in March.
Gun Runner came first followed by Collected and West Coast at second and third positions respectively.
