all in Breeders' Cup

West Coast sprinters will get a little added distance Saturday in the seven-furlong Pat O’Brien Stakes at Del Mar. The $250,000 stakes did not attract any of the top three finishers from the Grade 1, six-furlong Bing Crosby Stakes on July 26 at Del Mar, creating a competitive field and that should offer wagering value in several starters.

Each week a panel of media members, horseplayers, and Breeders’ Cup World Championships officials release a poll tabulating their votes on the nation's top contenders for the 2025 Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic. The rankings are a weekly rating of the top 10 horses in contention and are determined by each voter ranking their top 10 horses with points assigned on a descending 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis.

One of the biggest weeks on the annual calendar for horse racing in North America is upon us, as the main focus of fans and gamblers draws a bead on Saratoga Race Course for a spectacular Aug. 23 Saturday card anchored by the 156th DraftKings Travers Stakes.

Saratoga Race Course is famous for a lot of reasons: it’s the oldest sporting venue in the United States, it’s host to some of the best horse racing in the world, and it’s a summer playground for titans of industry and celebrities.

Saturday is King’s Plate day at Woodbine, but Canada’s version of the Kentucky Derby isn’t the only major race on tap. The undercard is headlined by the Grade 1 E. P.
