When was the last time the $2 million Grade 1 FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Juvenile presented by TAA drew a field as strong as the one slated to assemble at Santa Anita Park this Friday? The 1 1/16-mile race annually attracts a quality field, but this year’s renewal is above-average even by the Juvenile’s lofty standards.
The 40th running of the Grade 1, $6 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic brings together a big field of 12, with nine entering the race off of group/graded stakes victories.
NBC Sports will provide extensive coverage of the 40th Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Santa Anita on Nov. 3-4. The season-culminating event features 14 races worth $31 million in purses.
