John Sadler, Breeders’ Cup-winning trainer.

A much-discussed 0-for-41 heading into this year’s two-day Championships, the 62-year-old finally put that story to bed with a popular, one-length victory by Accelerate (Lookin At Lucky) in Saturday’s GI Breeders’ Cup Classic on a spectacular late fall afternoon before a lively crowd of 70,423 at Churchill Downs.

Longshot Gunnevera (Dialed In) rallied smartly from far back to finish second after getting bumped badly at the start. Thunder Snow (Ire) (Helmet {Aus}) was a solid third.

STALLIONS

Unbeaten ‘TDN Rising Star’ Game Winner (Candy Ride {Arg})–hero of the GI Del Mar Futurity Sept. 3 and GI American Pharoah S. Sept. 29–overcame a rough trip to deliver a well-deserved, 2 1/4-length decision as the even-money favorite in the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile.

The bay, owned by Gary and Mary West and trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, cemented his status as the year’s top 2-year-old and early GI Kentucky Derby favorite in the ‘Future Stars Friday’ feature before a crowd of 42,249 on a chilly fall Friday afternoon at Churchill Downs.

STALLIONS

City of Light (Quality Road) left the stalls running and never gave anybody else a chance posting a dominating performance, his third at the highest level, in the GI Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile. It was 2 3/4 lengths back to Seeking the Soul (Perfect Soul {Ire}) in second. Bravazo (Awesome Again) was third.

Previously unbeaten Catalina Cruiser (Union Rags), off to an awkward beginning after veering out at the start from his nine draw, was a very disappointing sixth as the 4-5 favorite.
