A challenging proposition awaits handicappers keen on betting Friday’s $2 million Grade 1 TVG Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Presented by Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance at Keeneland Race Course.
Each racing season ends with just one finish line: the Breeders' Cup World Championships. It’s the two-day, year-end culmination that every horse, jockey, trainer, and owner across the globe has in their sights. Where the world’s greatest come together to crown champions, and spectators celebrate as history unfolds before their eyes.
How different is wagering on a Breeders’ Cup World Championships card from a normal race day card, or even a normal “big race day” card? In my view, not vastly different at all. Thoroughbred racing is always about opinion and the odds.
Although 10 fillies and mares have been entered in Saturday’s $2 million, Grade 1 Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff at Keeneland Race Course, it’s safe to assume the majority of bettors will focus on two: #5 Swiss Skydiver and #10 Monomoy Girl.
