all in Breeders' Cup

With the Nov. 1 and 2 Breeders’ Cup World Championships coming toward the end of a long and challenging season, success at Del Mar will have everything to do with timing.

Some horses will show the wear and tear of the campaign and be unable to fire their best shot. For others, everything will come together at the precise moment when it is needed most.

The $2 million Grade 1 NetJets Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies is a race that churns out champions. Year after year, almost without exception, the winner goes on to earn champion 2-year-old filly honors at the Eclipse Awards.

In many years, picking the Juvenile Fillies winner is as easy as betting the favorite – they win at a high rate. But sometimes predictability goes out the window and longshots surprise at huge odds, triggering massive payoffs.

The Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic is the marquee race in North America in the second half of the year, a 1 ¼-mile race with a $7 million purse that goes a long way toward determining Horse of the Year. This year will be the 41st edition of the Breeders’ Cup Classic. Much has changed in the sport of horse racing since the first edition in 1984, but history can guide us in multiple ways in terms of what to look for in a Classic winner.

The 2024 Breeders’ Cup is fast approaching, and fields are beginning to take shape for the 14-race, two-day World Championships set for Nov. 1-2 at Del Mar.

Several of the all-time winningest jockeys in Breeders’ Cup history are still active and will be aboard many of the key contenders in the upcoming World Championships Nov. 1-2 at Del Mar. Having experience at this level of competition counts, and picking the horses ridden by the best time-tested and proven Breeders’ Cup jockeys can be a legitimate tie breaker and difference maker in your handicapping.
