Vino Rosso stormed across the finish line in a rout but Mongolian Groom never made it there. “Mongolian Groom sustained an injury in the Breeders’ Cup Classic today and was immediately attended to by an expert team of veterinarians,” Breeders’ Cup spokesperson Jim Gluckson said in a statement. No horses were injured through the first 13 Breeders’ Cup races on Friday and Saturday although several were scratched by veterinarians prior to their races. Mongolian Groom was trained by Enebish Ganbat and owned by Mongolian Stable, which is best known for producing 2015 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint winner Mongolian Saturday. Pletcher acknowledged that tensions were running high in the horse racing community as this year’s Breeders’ Cup approached.
