The Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint has a little bit of everything in the field this year. There are three-year old fillies, seven-year old colts and horses who have excelled at racing on both sides of the pond. It's a tough race to handicap, but it certainly appears like there is one in the field who is going to have everyone chasing after her in the second race of the day on Saturday at the Breeders' Cup.The $2,000,000 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint is the second event on Saturday, November 4 at the Breeders' Cup and shouldn't be missed by bettors. Post-time from Del Mar Racetrack is scheduled for 3:37 p.m. ET, and all of the action can be seen live on NBC Sports Network....
Last year's field in the Breeders' Cup Turf was considered to be one of the best ever. Though this year's race doesn't have quite the same depth, there are several key players who were involved in last year's barnburner that could once again find a way to steal the show from the Breeders' Cup Classic that will follow.The $4,000,000 Breeders' Cup Turf is the penultimate event on Saturday, November 4 at the Breeders' Cup and shouldn't be missed by bettors. Post-time from Del Mar Racetrack is scheduled for 7:37 p.m. ET, and all of the action can be seen live on NBC Sports Network....
The best sprinters in the world all come together for the Breeders' Cup Sprint, but there's a wonder whether there is a sprinter out there that belongs in the same league as Drefong. The defending Breeders' Cup Sprint champion is back for another run at his crown, and he'll have nine competitors looking to knock him off his throne.The $2,000,000 Breeders' Cup Sprint is the second event on Saturday, November 4 at the Breeders' Cup and shouldn't be missed by bettors. Post-time from Del Mar Racetrack is scheduled for 5:37 p.m. ET, and all of the action can be seen live on NBC Sports Network....
By the time we get to the Breeders' Cup Mile, the anticipation really starts to set in for the Breeders' Cup Classic, the biggest race of all of the big ones at the world championships. The Breeders' Cup Mile has its own merit for sure, though, and for our money, this is the toughest of all of the really hard races to handicap, particularly amongst the nine Saturday races.The $2,000,000 Breeders' Cup Mile is the second event on Saturday, November 4 at the Breeders' Cup and shouldn't be missed by bettors. Post-time from Del Mar Racetrack is scheduled for 6:19 p.m. ET, and all of the action can be seen live on NBC Sports Network....
It's a little early to tell whether this crop of two-year old fillies will be able to live up to the depth that we've seen over the course of the last few years in this division. What we do know, though, is that there are some massive Grade 1 race winners that will enter the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, and the one that comes out of this race victorious is almost certain to be the early-favorite to win the Kentucky Oaks in May.The $2,000,000 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies is the first event on Saturday, November 4 at the Breeders' Cup and shouldn't be missed by bettors. Post-time from Del Mar Racetrack is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET, and all of the action can be seen live on NBC Sports Network....
Two-year old racing always turns out to be a crapshoot, but by the end of the year, we usually have at least somewhat of an idea as to who is going to contend for the Kentucky Derby in just a few months. The Breeders' Cup Juvenile isn't always the best indicator of who is going to win the Run for the Roses, but it's the best early sign we have to work with for the year to come.The $2,000,000 Breeders' Cup Juvenile is the seventh event on Saturday, November 4 at the Breeders' Cup and shouldn't be missed by bettors. Post-time from Del Mar Racetrack is scheduled for 6:58 p.m. ET, and all of the action can be seen live on NBC Sports Network....
The Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf race is one that has undergone plenty of changes over the course of the last several years. This year's edition of the race is being run at a mile and an eighth, a distance that could change the way this field shakes out dramatically from last year when it was a 1 1/4-mile race. Regardless as to how long the race is, though, Lady Eli is the horse to beat.The $2,000,000 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf is the second event on Saturday, November 4 at the Breeders' Cup and shouldn't be missed by bettors. Post-time from Del Mar Racetrack is scheduled for 5 p.m. ET, and all of the action can be seen live on NBC Sports Network....
If you're looking for a lot of value at the Breeders' Cup on Saturday, you've certainly come to the right place with the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint. There are a ton of experienced ladies in this field who have all been at the top of their game at one point or another in the last couple years. That should make for an explosive and potentially historical event at Del Mar.The $1,000,000 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint is the third event on Saturday, November 4 at the Breeders' Cup and shouldn't be missed by bettors. Post-time from Del Mar Racetrack is scheduled for 4:14 p.m. ET, and all of the action can be seen live on NBC Sports Network....
The Breeders' Cup Las Vegas Dirt Mile has essentially become the NIT of the Breeders' Cup. Horses that don't quite have the quality or the distance in them to run in the Breeders' Cup Classic still need a place to run against other top competition, and the Dirt Mile is just the race for them. That's why so many of the top contenders for the second race on Friday at the Breeders' Cup are ones who were on the Kentucky Derby trail at one point in their careers....
The Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf is the first race of the Breeders' Cup in 2017, and it may as well be like a kid being asked to take the final exam on the first day of school. There isn't a ton of data available on most of these fillies, and the field is full with 14 entrants vying to become the first world champion of 2017....
The second of the turf races at the Breeders' Cup is one of the more intriguing for sure. There is a tremendous international flair for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf race, and the only thing that is for sure is that you'll see at least one horse you've never seen before run incredibly well on the grandest stage....
It's almost a shame that more attention isn't being paid to the ladies of thoroughbred racing nowadays. The division as a whole is starting to lack just a bit, and that's why there are just eight horses who are lining up in the 2017 Breeders' Cup Distaff, the showcase race on the Friday card at Del Mar.The $2,000,000 Breeders' Cup Distaff is the final event of the Breeders' Cup and shouldn't be missed by bettors on Friday, November 3, 2017. Post-time from Del Mar Racetrack is scheduled for 7:35 p.m. ET, and all of the action can be seen live on NBC Sports Network....
The Breeders' Cup Classic is perhaps a bit frustrating for horse racing fans this year. All three of the Triple Crown race winners are going to be sitting out the biggest race of the fall, and that leaves a bunch of old-timers to battle it out in the final race of the world championships.The $6,000,000 Breeders' Cup Classic is the final event of the Breeders' Cup and shouldn't be missed by bettors on Saturday, November 4, 2017. Post-time from Del Mar Racetrack is scheduled for 8:35 p.m. ET, and all of the action can be seen live on NBC Sports Network....
It's amazing that only one horse of the 20 who started at the Kentucky Derby is even going to complete the Triple Crown trail. With Classic Empire getting scratched on Wednesday, that leaves just Lookin At Lee as the only horse who will run in all three of the Spring's biggest races. It also leaves the Belmont Stakes without anything that resembles a favorite....
The Belmont Stakes is one of the premier events of the year on the horse racing calendar and shouldn't be missed by bettors on Saturday, June 10, 2017. Post-time from Belmont Park is scheduled for 6:37 p.m. ET, and all of the action can be seen live on NBC....
The big question on Saturday is whether Always Dreaming can win the Preakness Stakes and bring his Triple Crown bid all the way to Belmont Park in a few weeks. However, if you're not sold on just wagering on or against the Kentucky Derby champ, there are plenty of matchup props available at BookMaker.eu that could whet your betting appetite.The Preakness Stakes is one of the premier events of the year on the horse racing calendar and shouldn't be missed by bettors on Saturday, May 20, 2017. Post-time from Pimlico Race Course is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. ET, and all of the action can be seen live on NBC....
All eyes are set going to be on Always Dreaming at the Preakness Stakes. He's the Kentucky Derby winner and the only horse left with a chance at claiming the Triple Crown. He's the odds-on favorite to head to Belmont with a shot at glory, but the field of nine others standing in his way will certainly try to make life hard on him on Saturday....
Always Dreaming has the look and the feel of a horse who can win the Triple Crown. He was the favorite at the Kentucky Derby, he pulled away from the field with ease while effectively leading wire-to-wire, and now, he has a much weaker field he's going up against in the Preakness Stakes. But weird things happen in the Sport of Kings, and there's always going to be a shot for the good little one to pull off a big time upset of the odds-on favorite....
Championship thoroughbreds figure out how to fight through adversity to win races. Always Dreaming hasn't been faced with a lot of that in his career, and that's why he's ultimately on his way to the Preakness Stakes for the second leg of the Triple Crown. Can he continue to dodge bullets or figure out how to best others who are in his way to racing immortality? We're not eager to wager on it.The Preakness Stakes is one of the premier events of the year on the horse racing calendar and shouldn't be missed by bettors on Saturday, May 20, 2017. Post-time from Pimlico Race Course is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. ET, and all of the action can be seen live on NBC....
