all in Breeders' Cup

Last weekend, there were several stakes-rich racecards across North America, most prominently at Churchill Downs on June 27. Results from those six stakes under the Twin Spires brought significant changes to earnings leaderboards in several divisions, as tabulated by Equibase.

The primary focus of this series typically is: can this racehorse win at the Breeders’ Cup World Championships? With Stephen Foster Stakes winner Magnitude, that question, in my opinion has been answered emphatically “yes” in his two most recent starts.

Magnitude scored in front-running fashion to win the Grade 1 $2 million Stephen Foster Stakes June 27 at Churchill Downs.

For the 10th year in a row, America’s Best Racing is challenging some of the brightest minds in horse betting to come up with their top three picks for key races every weekend leading up to the 2026 Triple Crown and then continuing through the 2026 Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Keeneland. The handicappers face off in what we like to call the “Big-Race Showdown.”

The 45th running of the Grade 1 Stephen Foster Stakes on Saturday at Churchill Downs drew a small, but star-studded field competing for a $2 million purse as well as a ticket to the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic on Oct.
