Breeders' Cup 2020 Results: Tracking Winners and Prize Money Payouts on Saturday

Horse racing takes center stage on Saturday for its biggest weekend of the year with the 2020 Breeders' Cup taking place from Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky.

There are nine races on the schedule, culminating with the Breeders' Cup Classic. The combined award and purse payout this year is $28 million, led by the Classic at $6 million.

Here's an updated list of each race result as they happen throughout the day.

Classic ($6 million purse)

Win: Authentic ($10.40, $5.40, $4.20)

Place: Improbable ($4.80, $3.20)

Show: Global Campaign ($8.80)

Authentic capped off a brilliant 2020 with a victory in the Breeders' Cup Classic, finishing ahead of Improbable and Global Campaign.

Saturday's win makes Authentic the first horse since American Pharoah in 2015 to win the Classic and Kentucky Derby in the same year. The three-year-old colt also finished second at the Preakness Stakes.

Bob Baffert continues to add to his legendary resume. The 67-year-old was already the winningest trainer in Classic history with three career wins. He has now trained the winning horse four times in the past six years (Authentic, Arrogate in 2016, American Pharoah in 2015 and Bayern in 2014).

Unlike the Kentucky Derby, when he had to rebound after breaking poor out of the gate, Authentic led the Classic right from the jump and never looked back. He also gave jockey John Velazquez his first-ever win in the Classic.

Filly & Mare Sprint ($1 million purse)

Win: Gamine ($4.20, $3.00, $2.40)

Place: Serengeti Empress ($4.00, $3.00)

Show: Bell's The One ($3.20)

Gamine rebounded from the first defeat of her career at the Kentucky Oaks in September with a thrilling victory in the Filly & Mare Sprint.

Jockey John Velazquez kept his horse in second place for most of the race. Serengeti Empress stormed out of the gate and stayed out in front coming around the final turn. The four-year-old filly faded down the stretch, leaving the door open for Gamine to move in front.

Gamine's win wound up looking much easier than it was. She finished 6.25 lengths ahead of Serengeti Empress, and her time of 1:20.20 set a new record for the seven-furlong race.

Turf Sprint ($1 million purse)

Win: Glass Slippers ($22.40, $10.60, $6.60)

Place: Wet Your Whistle ($25.00, $15.00)

Show: Leinster ($3.60)

Glass Slippers stunned the field at the Turf Sprint by weaving her way through a crowded field and holding off a late surge from Wet Your Whistle. The four-year-old filly entered the race as a 12-1 morning line underdog to earn her second win in five events this year.

Glass Slippers didn't pull out front until hitting the 1/8 marker. Jockey Tom Eaves was excellent in managing his horse's stamina early before pushing her down the final stretch. He also had to save enough energy for her to hold off fast-charging Wet Your Whistle, who may have won if there had been another 50 yards to go.

This was only the fourth race of the year for Wet Your Whistle. The five-year-old gelding seemed to have momentum coming off a victory at the Belmont Turf Sprint Invitational in October, but he couldn't overcome a slow start and had to settle for a solid second-place finish.

Dirt Mile ($1 million purse)

Win: Knicks Go ($5.60, $5.00, $3.80)

Place: Jesus' Team ($33.60, $11.80)

Show: Sharp Samurai ($4.60)

Entering the Dirt Mile as the 7-2 morning line favorite, Knicks Go lived up to that reputation by going wire to wire for the biggest win of his career.

Knicks Go took most of this year off before returning to the track last month at the AlwOC. He made it count with his first victory since October 2018, a span of nine races. His final time of 1:33.85 on Saturday broke the race record set by Liam's Map in 2015 (1:34.54).

Jesus' Team was a surprise second-place finisher after coming into the race with 30-1 odds. The three-year-old colt has steadily been building his reputation, despite not having a win in five races entering Saturday. He had a strong third-place showing at the Preakness Stakes last month.

Filly & Mare Turf ($2 million purse)

Win: Audarya ($37.60, $16.00, $10.20)

Place: Rushing Fall ($4.80, $3.40)

Show: Harvey's Lil Goil ($10.80)

One of the biggest upsets was Audarya's victory in the Filly & Mare Turf. The Alison M. Swinburn-owned horse stunned Rushing Fall by coming from behind right before crossing the finish line.

Audarya has had an inconsistent 2020 prior to arriving in Lexington this weekend. She started the year finishing outside the top five at the Snowdrop Fillies' Stakes (eighth) in June and Pipalong Stakes (sixth) in July.

That was followed by back-to-back wins at the Handicap in August and Prix Jean Romanet before a third-place showing at the Prix De l'Opera.

Saturday was certainly the biggest showcase for Audarya. Rushing Fall was the odds-on-favorite coming into the race after winning each of her last three races. Her resume is still strong with 14 top-two finishes in 15 career races.

Sprint ($2 million purse)

Win: Whitmore ($38.80, $13.80, $7.60)

Place: C Z Rocket ($7.60, $5.00)

Show: Firenze Fire ($6.40)

In his fourth attempt, Whitmore finally crossed the finish line in first place to win the $2 million Sprint at the Breeders' Cup.

Whitmore, a seven-year-old gelding, has been racing since 2015. His first attempt to win this race was in 2017 when he finished eighth. The Ronald E. Moquett-trained horse finished in the top three in each of the previous two years and had his breakthrough moment on Saturday.

Coming into the race, Whitmore was only given 18-1 odds coming off a fourth-place showing in Phoenix last month. He joins Elmhurst (1997) and Cardmania (1993) as the only seven-year-olds to win the Sprint.

Mile ($2 million purse)

Win: Order of Australia ($148.80, $57.00, $25.60)

Place: Circus Maximus ($12.60, $9.00)

Show: Lope Y Fernandez ($12.40)

Order of Australia picked an opportune time to get the biggest win of his career by shocking the field in the mile run at the Breeders' Cup.

A 73-1 underdog, Order of Australia was sitting in fourth for most of the race before making his push down the final stretch. Trainer Aidan O'Brien secured his first victory in this race and 13th overall at the Breeders' Cup. His last win was in the 2017 Juvenile Turf with Mendelssohn.

That wasn't the only good news for O'Brien in the race. The 51-year-old also trains runner-up Circus Maximus and third-place finisher Lope Y Fernandez.

Order of Australia was having a rough year prior to Saturday. He finished ninth at the International Stakes and seventh at the Prix Du Jockey Club coming into Kentucky.

Distaff ($2 million purse)

Win: Monomoy Girl ($4.00, $3.00, $2.40)

Place: Valiance ($8.80, $5.60)

Show: Dunbar Road ($8.00)

Jockey Florent Geroux put together an excellent race to lead Monomoy Girl to a victory in the $2 million Distaff.

Starting from the 10th post as an even-money favorite, Monomoy Girl hung around the pack for the first mile before turning on the jets after the final turn.

This is Monomoy Girl's second win in the Distaff. She previously won in 2018, making her the third horse since 2011 and fourth overall with multiple victories in this race. Royal Delta, Bayakoa and Beholder are the others.

To get across the finish line in front of the pack, Monomoy Girl surged down the final stretch to beat out Valiance and Dunbar Road. The five-year-old mare has won each of her five races in 2020.

Turf ($4 million purse)

Win: Tarnawa ($11.40, $5.40, $4.00)

Place: Magical ($4.00, $2.80)

Show: Channel Maker ($5.60)

Colin Keane, a rising star in the jockey world, got the biggest win of his young career riding Tarnawa to victory in the Longines Turf on Saturday.

Things didn't start out great for Tarnawa, who came out of the gate slow and was sitting close to the back of the pack. She made her move coming around the outside down the stretch to cruise past Magical.

The Breeders' Cup Turf marked Tarnawa's first race against male horses in her career. The four-year-old filly wasn't intimidated by the competition or the spotlight. She has won four consecutive races since August, including three Grade 1 events.
