all in Breeders' Cup

The 37th running of the Grade 1, $6 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic brings together a field which must be described as top notch, with the sum of their earnings totaling nearly the entire total of $31 million dollars in purse money to be shared over the two days of the Breeders’ Cup World Championships Nov. 6-7 at Keeneland Race Course.

Part of the allure of the Breeders’ Cup World Championships every year is picking out a horse few others saw as a serious contender and watching him or her surprise everyone in the stretch.

When you have 14 championship races that draw the best horses from around the world, the result is deep, talented field throughout the entire card, which happens to be a terrific recipe for longshot winners. That’s why on Breeders’ Cup weekend you can bet a horse at 12-1 or 15-1 or even 25-1 odds and still put your money on a graded stakes winner in good form.

The 10 jockeys lined up for the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic on Nov. 7 at Keeneland Race Course are a diverse group, including two members of the Racing Hall of Fame, the reigning two-time Eclipse Award winner, and two riders making their first appearance in the Classic. Get to know more about their backgrounds and assigned mounts for the $6 million race in these profiles.

The TVG Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Presented by Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance will not only close out “Future Stars Friday” at the World Championships Nov. 6 at Keeneland, it should also bring down the curtain on who will be the champion 2-year-old male of 2020.

Each week during the extended Triple Crown season and up to the Breeders' Cup in 2020, members of the media around the country voted on the nation's top contenders in the NTRA Top Thoroughbred Poll. Find out the 2020 top 3-year-old rankings below.
