The Breeders' Cup World Championships at Del Mar features a two-day event with a total of 14 races, including the prestigious $7 million Breeders' Cup Classic. This event sees a record 80 international horses, with significant participation from Japan, adding complexity to the handicapping. Day 1, known as 'Future Stars Friday,' focuses on juvenile races, where European horses often excel in turf events. Day 2 includes nine Grade 1 races, highlighted by the competitive Breeders' Cup Classic featuring a full field of 14 runners from three continents. Both days promise substantial payoffs for bettors who can navigate the diverse fields, and the event is a key precursor to next year's Kentucky Derby. Notably, Japanese sprinter Ecoro Sieg and European contenders such as Whistlejacket are among the anticipated standouts.
