Arc and Derby winner Golden Horn ran around half a stone below his best form when failing to end his career on a winning note in the Breeders’ Cup Turf on Saturday night. That’s early verdict of BHA head of handicapping Phil Smith, who watched the Frankie Dettori-ridden colt succumb by half a length to Aidan O’Brien’s Found. Smith also believes the US Triple Crown winner American Pharoah took his career to a new high with his ‘stunning’ six and a half length victory in the $5million Classic. His victory was a fitting climax to a Breeders’ Cup day attended by over 50,000.Golden Horn was beat by Found in the Breeders' Cup Turf at KeenelandThe Arc and Derby winner ran around half a stone below bestFrankie Dettori rode the colt but was beaten by half a length
