From its inaugural edition won by Royal Heroine in 1984 right through Modern Games’ victory last year, the Breeders’ Cup Mile has been one of the most intriguing races not only in the World Championships but in the sport of horse racing.
The Breeders’ Cup World Championships will be held for the 40th time on Nov. 3-4 at Santa Anita Park, and the communities of Arcadia and Pasadena, Calif. will be welcoming fans from around the world to visit. Santa Anita is a world-class venue with the San Gabriel Mountains providing a spectacular backdrop, and the venue hosts the Breeders’ Cup for a record 11th time.
Whether you like betting on favorites or longshots, the $2 million Grade 1 NetJets Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies is the perfect race to play. As counterintuitive as it might seem, it’s a fact backed up by statistics. How can this be? It turns out North America’s championship race for 2-year-old fillies is a haven for both short-priced favorites and massive longshot winners. A quick look through the history of the Juvenile Fillies reveals the details.
The Breeders’ Cup World Championships returns to Santa Anita Park for a record 11th time in 2023 as the two-day event returns to the picturesque Arcadia, Calif. venue for Future Stars Friday on Nov. 3 and Championship Saturday on Nov. 4.
