Breeders' Cup settles some questions, leaves voids to fill for 2021 horse racing

The Breeders' Cup World Championships wrapped up for the 2020 racing season. Monomoy Girl was purchased by Spendthrift Farm for $9.5 million. Rushing Fall, runner-up in Saturday's Breeder's Cup Filly & Mare Turf, went for $5. 5 million to the Irish Coolmore interests. WinStar Farm made room in its paddocks for its top male contenders. Bob Baffert wants Authentic to stay on the track for another year.  

The Classic was billed as the race that would decide "Horse of the Year" and it probably did. Monooy Girl will get some "horse" support, but she will settle for honors as year's top older female. The turf awards will take more thought after Europeans plundered all the loot Saturday.
