Saturday's Nine Breeders Cup Races
I have made such disastrous betting picks over the last couple of years, that I have decided not to list my picks for this year's Breeders Cup races. Instead, I will just give you the names of the races, distances, purse monies, post position of the entries, weight they will carry in the race, and the morning betting odds set by Mike Battaglia at Keeneland Racecourse in Lexington, Kentucky. All post times are Eastern Daylight Time in the US. (Don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour before you go to bed Saturday, or when you arise Sunday.)
Saturday's first Breeders Cup race has a post time of 12:05. It is the Juvenile Fillies, for 2-year-old girls only, and each will carry 122 pounds over the main dirt track for 8.5 furlongs (! 1/16 miles). The purse total is $2 million.

The Turf Sprint is the second race of the Breeders Cup, with a post time of 12:45. This race is open to any horse over the age of three years,and of any sex. This race is weight for age and sex, which means I'll put the weight each horse is to carry behind their name, and before the odds.

Breeders Cup Information - Part 3
The final four races of the Breeders Cup Championship Races have a total combined purse of $11,500,00. Wouldn't all of us regular working stiffs love to have that money?
Again, horses designated with an * have won a Breeders Cup Challenge Race, and are guaranteed a post position in the starting gate.
The sixth race on Saturday, 2 November, will be the Breeders Cup Turf, a contest for horses of any sex, aged 3-years-old and up. The race covers one and one-half miles on the grass, and there are thirteen pre-entries for the $3,000,000 purse:
*Big Blue Kitten
Grandeur (bred in Ireland)
Indy Point (bred in Argentina)
*Little Mike
Magician (bred in Ireland)
Point of Entry
*Real Solution
Skyring
Tale of a Champio
Teaks North
*The Fugue (bred in Great Britain)
Twilight Eclipse
*Vagabond Shoes (bred in Ireland)
The Breeders Cup Sprint will run next, for horses of any sex, 3-years-old and up, and cover 6 furlongs (or 3/4 mile) on the main track. There are fifteen pre-entries for the $1,500,000 purse:
*Bahamian Squall
Capo Bastone
Fast Bullet
Gentlemen's Bet
Justin Phillip
Laugh Track
Majestic Stride
*Points Offthebench
*Private Zone
Reneesgotzip
Secret Circle
*Sum of the Parts
The Lumber Guy
Trinniberg
Wine Police
The Breeders Cup Mile is the penultimate race, for horses of either sex, covering the distance of one mile on the grass. There are sixteen pre-entries for the $2,000,000 purse:
Boat Trip
Bright Thought
Christoforo Colombo
Flotilla (bred in France)
He Be Fire N Ice
Jeranimo
Magician (bred in Ireland)
Mshawish
No Jet Lag
*Obviously (bred in Ireland)
Olympic Glory (bred in Ireland)
Silentio
Toronado (bred in Ireland)
*Wise Dan
Za Approval
The climax of the program is the Breeders Cup Classic, a one and one-quarter mile race on the main track. It is open to horses of either sex, aged 3-years-old and up, and has a purse of $5,000,000. There are thirteen pre-entries:
Declaration of War
Flat Out
*Fort Larned
*Game On Dude
Graydar
Last Gunfighter
Moreno
*Mucho Macho Man
Palace Malice
Paynter
Planteur (bred in Ireland)
*Ron the Greek
Will Take Charge
And just a silly bit of trivia at the end... Do you know why the monetary prize for horse racing is called a purse? Originally, when a horse race was set up, a neutral party held the amount the race winner would receive - and it was sewn into a silk purse. The idea being that the silk would show any tampering with the stitches, and coin could not be removed from the purse before the race. Of course, today our "purses" are split between the top five finishers, with the rest of the field getting only applause for their payment.
*** Oxbow, the winner of the 2013 Preakness Stakes, has been retired and will stand at stud at Taylor Made in Kentucky. His fee is $20,000 when foal stands and nurses. ***
