Mucho Macho Man Wins Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita Park
Las Vegas, NV - The Main Event on another scintillating Breeders' Cup weekend, the $5 million Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Classic took place Saturday at Santa Anita in Arcadia, California. Legendary rider Gary Stevens put an exclamation mark on a remarkable comeback season guiding last year`s Classic runner-up and 7/2 second choice for the race Mucho Macho Man to a thrilling nose victory over fast closing 12/1 shot Will Take Charge and Declaration of War who was sent off at 6/1 odds. Fort Larned was fourth followed by Last Gunfighter, Palace Malice, Paynter, Flat Out, disappointing 8-5 favorite Game On Dude, Moreno, and Planteur. Ron the Greek was scratched.
