Fort Larned triumphs in Breeders' Classic Nov 4th 2012, 01:02 By Mark Lamport-Stokes ARCADIA, California | Sat Nov 3, 2012 9:02pm EDT ARCADIA, California (Reuters) - Fort Larned stole the limelight from overwhelming favorite Game on Dude with a storming finish to win the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita Park on Saturday. Brian Hernandez piloted the four-year-old colt past the celebrated field in a dramatic stretch run before holding off a late surge by Mucho Macho Man to win America's richest race in glorious late afternoon sunshine. Mucho Macho Man finished half a length back in second with last year's beaten Classic favorite Flat Out a further six-and-a-half lengths adrift in third. Game on Dude, who came desperately close to winning the 2011 Classic, only to be run down by Drosselmeyer in the shadows of the post, finished a disappointing seventh after making a slow start.
