all in Breeders' Cup

The 2025 Saratoga Race Course summer meet wrapped up on Labor Day weekend. Throughout the meet, racing fans were treated to a bevy of exciting performances from lightly raced 2-year-olds with 2025 Breeders’ Cup and 2026 Triple Crown aspirations.

I’ve analyzed the results and ranked the top five juveniles of the meet:

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.

Saturday’s Rogers Woodbine Mile is a Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series “Win and You’re In” race for the FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Mile Presented by PDJF, offering the winner a fees-paid berth to the Nov.

Mid-September usually signals a turning point in the North American racing calendar, and that’s true this year as Churchill Downs and Belmont at the Big A (Aqueduct) both kick off early fall meets. The marquee races, however, will occur at Woodbine on Saturday, Sept.

The $5 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf regularly attracts the best U.S.-based distance turf horses along with a formidable international contingent that makes the 1 ½-mile race a daunting assignment. It takes a consistently elite U.S. runner to have a realistic shot at success.
