has won the Breeders' Cup Classic today at Monmouth Park, the last race on the eight-race card.
Unfortunately, as is far too common in these races, there was a breakdown in the race and the horse, George Washington, had to be euthanized.
As I mentioned yesterday, I couldn't get access to the races because of the satellite dish.
English Channel won the Turf.
Ginger Punch won the Distaff.
Kip Deville won the Mile.
Midnight Lute won the Sprint.
Lahudood won the Filly & Mare Turf.
And War Pass won the Juvenile.
Something needs to be done to stem the occurance of breakdowns in these races, especially these types of races. A generation ago, these were extremely rare.
