Constitution's American History Stays Perfect in the Claiborne Breeders' Futurity

American History remains unbeaten after winning the Claiborne Breeders' Futurity with a late run. The Constitution runner settled into a good position and waited while two leaders fought it out up front. One of them was Coach Pope, a son of Tapit. American History closed steadily through the final stages and caught them both. What made it worth watching was the patience: the horse sat back early and finished best when it counted. Coach Pope, like the winner, carries the TDN Rising Stars designation, presented by Hagyard, so this was a meeting between young horses already marked as ones to follow. The perfect record keeps the attention on American History and on Constitution as the sire behind the win.
