A crowd of 54,289 braved frigid Belmont Park in Elmont, New York in the 22nd edition of the Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships. Nobody hit the $3 million guaranteed Pick 6, as three of the most highly regarded favorites, Lost in the Fog, Ashado, and Leroidesanimaux, lost their respective races, which should make for very interesting voting for the Eclipse Awards. Richard Dutrow Jr. and Edgar Prado both broke their jinxes in the Championships in a big way, winning two races each, while Gary Stevens, one win away from 5,000 in his career, was shut out.
