LEXINGTON, Ky. — The North American Thoroughbred racing season reached its thrilling climax Saturday on the final day of the Breeders' Cup World Championships at Keeneland on a beautiful fall day in Lexington.
The general public was barred from the Breeders' Cup because of COVID-19, but Keeneland was teeming with plenty of spectators with connections to the Thoroughbreds who contested the 12 races on Saturday's card — and they got to witness several record-setting performances, along with a wild upset.
