all in Breeders' Cup

Get Smokin had never won a race or ever even traveled beyond 1 1/16 miles in any race before entering the starting gate for the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series 'Win and You're In' 1 1/2-mile Grade 2 FanDuel Kentucky Turf Cup Stakes on Sept. 9 at Kentucky Downs.

As the road to the 2024 Breeders’ Cup World Championships picks up momentum in mid-September, the focus for the upcoming weekend shifts to Woodbine in Toronto, which will host three Challenge Series “Win and You’re In” races on Saturday, Sept. 14.

For the seventh year in a row, America’s Best Racing is challenging some of the brightest minds in horse betting to come up with their top three picks for key races every weekend leading up to the 2023 Triple Crown and then continuing through the 2023 Breeders’ Cup World Championships. The handicappers face off in what we like to call the “Big Race Showdown.”

A “Win and You’re In” berth to the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint is up for grabs in Saturday’s $1 million, Grade 2 Ainsworth Turf Sprint Stakes at Kentucky Downs, a lucrative three-quarter-mile race growing in prestige.

The $1.7 million, Grade 2 FanDuel Kentucky Turf Cup Stakes Saturday at Kentucky Downs will likely run with a full field of 12 considering there are four other horses entered, all of whom are also-eligible (who run if a horse in the main body of the race withdraws).
