Sovereignty Holds the Top Line as Classic Rankings Open

Sovereignty sits atop the first Breeders' Cup Classic power rankings of the fall, a Sept. 8 tally compiled by a panel of racing media. The list is the opening measure of a field still taking shape, with fresh rankings due every two weeks through Oct. 20. For now, the colt holds the number-one spot as the sport's attention turns toward its championship weekend.
