Flightline, the undefeated and still untested favorite in the $6 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic, is not the only superstar competing in the Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Keeneland Race Course.
The $6 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic is the marquee race of the 14 World Championships races to be held Nov. 4-5 at Keeneland Race Course, and the 1 ¼-mile test also happens to feature horse racing’s brightest star, Flightline.
Flightline enters the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic Nov. 5 at Keeneland with an unblemished record intact having won his five career starts by a combined margin of 62 ¾ lengths. The closest any competitor has come to Flightline at the finish line is six lengths.
Several of the all-time winningest jockeys in Breeders’ Cup history are still active, and if you are stuck between two horses in any given race and looking for a tie breaker in your 2022 Breeders’ Cup handicapping on Nov. 4-5 at Keeneland, you could do a lot worse than focusing on the jockeys with the best records of Breeders’ Cup success so far in their careers.
