The two speeds were hooked up together going 1:12 and simply not relaxing and wanting to duel ... Atigun was in a dream position 3rd and merely had to inherit the lead when the two speeds inevitably stopped.
Instead Smith looped them on the turn and put them away with 7 furlongs still to go. He collapsed the race and the South American dirt plodder just ran over the top of these horses in the stretch.
1st "Breeders Cup" race goes to a D. Wayne Lukas maiden
2nd "Breeders Cup" race goes to a South American 9-year-old with an ultimate assist from Smith.
