With Anticipation rallied in company with High Chaparral entering the stretch and while no match for the winner continued on willingly to finish second. He was followed by Falcon Flight, The Tin Man, Denon, Golan, Ballingarry and Perfect Soul. High Chaparral paid $3.80 and was the shortest priced winner on Saturday's eight race Breeders' Cup card. He ran 1 1-2 miles in 2:30. High Chaparral, a son of Sadler's Well whose only defeat this season was a third place finish in the Arc de Triomophe, is trained by Aidan O'Brien for owners Michael Tabor & Mrs. John Magnier. "He's a horse with a lot of class," said O'Brien. "It was a slow race but when Mick asked him to quicken there wasn't any doubt." "Once the gap opened and he quickened the race was over," said Kinane. | |||||||||
