The Breeders' Cup has announced the official order of races and wagering menu for the 2022 Breeders’ Cup World Championships, scheduled to take place on Friday, Nov. 4 and Saturday, Nov. 5 at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky.

There will be a total of 10 races (five Breeders' Cup races) on the first day of the Championships – “Future Stars Friday” – and 12 races on the Saturday program (nine Breeders' Cup races). The Friday program begins at 11:55 a.m. ET with five undercard races. The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (Race #10) will be the final race of the day, which will have a post time of 5:40 p.m. ET.

Championship Saturday’s first post is 10:30 a.m. ET and begins with two undercard races. The World Championships will conclude with the $6 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic (Race #11), which will have a post time of 5:40 p.m. ET. There will be one undercard race (Race #12) following the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic with a post time of 6:20 p.m. ET.

This year, a total of 26 countries from around the world, including Canada, France, Ireland, Germany, and the United Kingdom, will be offering pari-mutuel, commingled wagering through the Breeders’ Cup Global Pool on the World Championships. Seven other jurisdictions will be offering separate pool wagering, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Hong Kong, India, and Mexico.

The 2022 wagering menu will include a Breeders’ Cup All-Turf $3 Pick 3 on Friday. The three races, in order, the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (Race 6), the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (Race 8), and the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (Race 10). 

The Breeders’ Cup All-Turf Pick 4 on Saturday is a $.50 minimum wager and will package four of the best turf races in the world together with full fields of international competitors. The four races, in order, are the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint (Race 4), Maker’s Mark Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf (Race 6), FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Mile presented by PDJF (Race 8), and the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf (Race 10).

Breeders’ Cup will also offer a third, middle Pick 5 on Saturday, starting with Race #3. The early Pick 5 will start with Race #1 and the late Pick 5 with Race 7. Last year’s late Pick 5 on Saturday generated a $4.7 million pool while the late Pick 4 offered a $4.4 million pool.
