The vastly improved light grey colt WHITE ABARRIO, son of a $5,000 stallion who now stands in Korea, rolled to a big win in the $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) at the 40th World Championships at Santa Anita on November 4.

Two days of Breeders’ Cup races yielded total all-sources, global common-pool handle of $176,281,989, the lowest number since 2020 and down from $189 million a year ago.

Owned by C2 Racing and La Milagrosa, WHITE ABARRIO, a son of Race Day – Catching Diamonds by Into Mischief, needed only run back to his 6 1/2 length win in the Grade 1 Whitney Stakes on Aug. 5 to conquer a modest field for the Classic travelling 1 1/4 miles on the dirt.
