TDN's #BreedersCup40 Celebration continues today with AUTHENTIC 👑 Despite a racing year disrupted and rearranged by the Covid-19 pandemic, the son of Into Mischief absolutely shined in 2020 as he won two graded stakes before taking his first Grade I, the Haskell Stakes, prior to his victorious run in the Sept. 5 GI kentuckyderby. He'd also finish second, by a neck, in the GI preaknessstakes. But nothing was as spectacular as his GI BreedersCup Classic. Leading the field from the start, Authentic kicked clear down the stretch to win by 2 1/4 lengths! Retiring with $7,201,200 in career earnings, the Horse of the Year and 3-Year-Old Champion Colt now stands at spendthriftfarm alongside his sire. His first foals are yearlings this year. 👉 Read more in Monday’s TDN America or over at thetdn.com 📸: Authentic with handler Christina Zurick
