Less than 3 weeks until the Breeders' Cup World Championships!

Cup Preview:

We are less than three weeks away from the historic Breeders' Cup World Championships; on November 6th and 7th, at Keeneland Racecourse in Lexington, Kentucky. NBC will air the races; the Cup will award 31-million dollars in purses.

This year's events will take place without fans and a crowd present due to the Covid-19 situation. If you already happened to purchase a ticket, do not worry; they will be issuing refunds in their entirety. Be sure to mark your calendars as well; the Breeders' Cup will be returning in 2022, so be sure to plan.

Races:

The Longines Classic will take place on Saturday, November 7th, at 5:13 p.m. EST and carry the heftiest purse, a 6-million dollar award. This race is the cream of the crop for thoroughbred horse racing; the best of the best worldwide compete in this event. According to TVG, Improbable has the highest odds of winning, at 3/1, followed by Tiz the Law at 4/1, and both Maximum Security and Authentic tied for third at 6/1.

The second most significant race of the Cup is the Longines Turf, a 1 ½ mile distance run on a grass course. It will take place right before the Cup Classic, on Saturday, November 7th, at 4:33 p.m. EST. This race features the second-largest purse, at a total of 4-million dollars, and TVG has Mogul with the highest odds at 9/4, then Magical at 5/2, and in third, Tarnawa at 3/1. No other horse sits below 10/1 odds within the race.
