Betting an East Coast Invader in Shoemaker Mile

The rules are simple. “Win” a race in the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series, and you’re “in” the Breeders’ Cup with all expenses paid.

The first North American race in the 2019 Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series is the $500,000, Grade 1 Shoemaker Mile Stakes on Memorial Day at Santa Anita Park. The one-mile race offers a “Win and You’re In” berth to the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Mile, and this bonus prize — plus the rich purse — has attracted a high-quality field of nine horses.

Preakness Payouts Boosted by Longshots
