The championship races at the 2016 Breeders Cup lived up to expectations and after the Beholder V Songbird duel on Friday night California Chrome and Arrogate served up another thriller in the Classic with the three-year-old Travers winner running down California Chrome. It gave Bob Baffert three Classics in a row and Mike Smith, this time triumphant, three wins also and a total of 25 Breeders Cup wins.

Arrogate was still a maiden in June of this year, and on ony his sixth start he capped off a remarkable double, proving that his record-breaking Travers Stakes win was no fluke running down the highest rated horse in the world, California Chrome.
