Raven's Pass Wins Breeders' Cup Classic

Defending Breeders' Cup Classic champion Curlin gave it his best run, but came up short in today's big race. In dramatic fashion, the win would go to Raven's Pass, who handled the synthetic surface quite nicely at Santa Anita.

Raven's Pass was recently purchased by Sheikh Mohammed and ran in the Classic in the colors of Sheikh Mohammed's wife, Princess Haya of Jordan. It was rider Frankie Dettori who took this magnificent colt across the finish line first.

"I now have a very cheekie Italian jockey," said trainer John Gosden. "Look at him! He's throwing goggles everywhere!"

Raven's Pass paid $29.00. Henrythenavigator and Tiago took second and third.
