White Abarrio has won the $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic by a length. The win puts trainer Rick Dutrow back on top months after his 10-year exile from the sport ended. Ridden by Irad Ortiz Jr., White Abarrio ran 1 1/4 miles in 2:02.87. Sent off as the 5-2 favorite, the gray colt paid $7.20 to win. The gray colt was moved to Dutrow's barn by his owners after White Abarrio's previous trainer had two horses die last spring. Dutrow returned to the sport earlier this year after serving a 10-year suspension by New York officials for a history of violations. Dutrow previously won the Classic in 2005 with Saint Liam. Japanese horse Derma Sotogake finished second, and Proxy was third.
