Ghostzapper had one thing going for him Saturday in the $4 million Breeders' Cup Classic: He is a very fast horse. But he had never run a mile and a quarter, his trainer was a miserable 2 for 62 in the Breeders' Cup and he was supposed to be caught up in a speed duel that would threaten his chances.

Sometimes, though, this game can be simple. Ghostzapper, a 4-year-old who had not been beaten this year and who had posted incredibly fast speed figures, outran 12 others every step of the way in the Classic. Ghostzapper did it the easy way, going to the front and never trailing, winning by three lengths over Roses in May in record time before 53,717 fans at Lone Star Park.

"He's just faster than they are," Bobby Frankel, Ghostzapper's trainer, said.
