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 2024 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.

The $1 million, Grade 1 Whitney Stakes Saturday at Saratoga Race Course is one of the most important races in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic division as well as one of the marquee summertime races in U.S. horse racing.

The first weekend of August hosts two important races that are part of the Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Challenge Series. At Saratoga, the 97th running of the Whitney Stakes will go on Saturday, Aug. 3, and is a qualifier for the Nov.

The fields for the 14 races that comprise the Breeders’ Cup World Championships really begin to come into focus in summer and fall. This regular feature will offer a snapshot profile of one of the previous weekend’s standout stars, usually a Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Challenge Series winner, and exploring their chances to win a targeted race Nov. 1-2 at Del Mar.

Tom Pedulla offers takeaways from the $500,000 Grade 2 Jim Dandy Stakes Presented by Mohegan Sun and the $350,000, Grade 1 Alfred G.
