Sovereignty won the $7 million Breeders’ Cup Classic by 1¾ lengths Saturday at Keeneland, closing his racing career with a victory in the season’s richest race.
Junior Alvarado moved the four-year-old past Forever Young before turning back The Puma’s late run. Knightsbridge, who set the early pace, held third.
It was trainer Bill Mott’s third Classic victory. Sovereignty had won the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes the previous year.
