Wink CLASSIC: New track record..

Statement on 2020 Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic Race Time

Prior to the running of the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic (Gr. 1) on November 7, 2020, at Keeneland, a photo eye at the start of the race was inadvertently tripped, which resulted in an error when attempting to operate the timing system manually causing inaccurate timing for all fractions and the final time of the race. A final time of 1:59.19 was initially provided by Equibase using the available video replay. After subsequent and more detailed review and timing of the race from multiple sources and camera angles, Keeneland and Equibase have determined the fractional times for the Classic (:23.20, :46.84, 1:10.32, 1:34.64, 1:59.60) and confirmed a final time of 1:59.60. The Classic chart has been updated and the running of Authentic in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic is now the official track record for the 1¼-mile distance at Keeneland.

Great, now B. Wayne Hughes can breathe easy and put "faster than American Pharoah" on the stallion advert.

Of course, if he really wanted to upstage American Pharoah, he would bring the horse out at 4...at least for the Pegasus World Cup Imaginational.
