Henri Matisse came out on top to land the Prevagen Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar.
Aidan O’Brien’s colt and his rivals were made to wait in the stalls after Aomori City broke through the starting gates and had to be reloaded.
When the field got away, the winner’s class showed as he overcame a wide passage to soar to success on a fruitful day for Ryan Moore and the Coolmore team.
Henri Matisse was O’Brien’s 20th Breeders’ Cup winner, equalling the record of D Wayne Lukas.
