Recap

War of Will (16-1) paced the field for much of the race, with McKinzie not far behind. McKinzie tried to pass War of Will in the early going but couldn't find space between the rail and leader to move.

Eventually, McKinzie did find a path to the front and took it, grabbing the lead before the final stretch.

However, Vino Rosso surged from the pack, took the outside lane and rushed past McKinzie for the three-length win. McKinzie took second, and Higher Power took third.

With the win, Vino Rosso won his third race in six tries during the 2019 season.

The four-year-old notably participated in the 2018 Kentucky Derby and 2018 Belmont Stakes, finishing ninth and fourth, respectively.

Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. continued his dominant weekend by winning his fourth Breeders' Cup race of 2019. Trainer Todd Pletcher took home his first ever Breeders' Cup Classic victory.
