Opinions Split on Classic Winner
The $7 million Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1), the grand finale for 3-year-olds and up, caps off another thrilling year of racing.
Back at Del Mar for the fourth time, this year’s Classic promised to be one for the ages. Although Wednesday’s scratch of standout 3-year-old Sovereignty took some sparkle off the lineup, the 1 1/4-mile showdown still packs serious star power, featuring the top three finishers from last year’s epic renewal.
Returning to Del Mar for the fourth time, this year’s Classic drew a field of ten. What was shaping up to be one of the most talented lineups in the race’s storied history lost a key player Wednesday when standout 3-year-old Sovereignty was scratched. Still, the 1 1/4-mile contest remains loaded, featuring the top three finishers from last year’s edition.
Post time is set for 6:25 p.m. ET on Saturday, with the main track expected to be fast.
The ThoroFan Handicappers weigh in with their picks for the top three plus their favorite longshot bombs to shake up the tote board!
May the odds be ever in your favor!
