Covering the impact of the coronavirus on the world of sport
Authentic won the Breeders’ Cup Classic 2020 on Saturday by a margin of two and a half lengths, not only beating late odds favorite Tiz the Law, but also beating one of the most talented racing groups in this competition in years What should come as no surprise, a horse by Bob Baffert has once again helped to add another record for the career of the legendary trainer
While it was Tiz the Law who had the best break since the opening gate, it was Authentic who quickly took the lead of the rest of the field and held it firmly throughout the race. There were times when the lead waned at the start, but on the home stretch Authentic really showed his skills and doubled the length of his lead as he crossed the finish line.

For Baffert, the legendary trainer behind the horse that has been the source of controversy of late, this was another record to add to his illustrious career It was the fourth time he had trained a horse to win the Breeders’ Cup Classic, and his 17th Breeders Cup overall victory
“We were really disappointed after the Preakness, I was a little surprised, you know [Authentic’s] race,” he told NBC Sports “But he’s a weird horse He had worked amazing, they were all I think [jockey John R Velazquez] knows him really well and once he gets them into that rhythm he just gets better and better He caught up with the older horses, just an incredible horse «
« I would have loved to run one-two-three, but I was proud of my horses. What a path after what I’ve been through this year I love this sport and it’s just a beautiful day »
Baffert’s other horses in the Classic were unlikely and maximum security As for what he’s been through this year, that’s in reference to mounting criticism surrounding four failed drug tests in the past six months with horses he trained
It was also a big moment for Velazquez as it was the first time he won a Breeders’ Cup Classic in his career, despite having won 17 other races in the competition – his CV includes also three wins at the Kentucky Derby
