Results - Breeders Cup Wagering

Last year, the 2015 Breeders’ Cup was held on October 30th and 31st at Keeneland in Kentucky. Over the course of the weekend, 13 electrifying races were run. As always, the Breeders’ Cup Classic served as a fitting finale to another fantastic season with wonderful results.

The legendary Bob Baffert claimed his first Breeders’ Cup Grand Slam victory as American Pharoah dominated the field and took home the championship, along with the $5 million purse. Though Baffert had reached the winner’s circle in many other of the Breeders’ Cup divisions, he had never won the newly coined Grand Slam series. The Grand Slam consists of the Triple Crown races; Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes, and a win in the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

Also of note were three jockeys who split two wins each. Ryan Moore and Florent Geroux completely dominated the turf with four wins and Javier Castellano made his mark in the dirt. Moore won the Breeders’ Cup Turf aboard Found (IRE) and the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf with Hit It a Bomb. Geroux clinched victories with Catch a Glimpse in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf and Mongolian Saturday in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint. Castellano’s winning mounts consisted of Liam’s Map in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile and Stopchargingmaria in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff.

Over $26 million in purse and prize money was awarded at the 2016 Breeders’ Cup World Championships.

The Breeders’ Cup is a series of races run at the end of the season which have become the World Championships of the sport. It is a two day event featuring 13 races that are all designated Grade I, offering a variety of distances and prize money. The main event is the Breeders’ Cup Classic, which currently awards far more than any other race at $6,000,000.

The most wins by a jockey at the Breeders Cup is Mike Smith, who has 22 victories. This should come as no surprise since Smith is a 2003 inductee to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.

The trainer to watch at the Breeders’ Cup is undoubtedly D. Wayne Lukas, who has 20 wins at this event and is also the winningest, active trainer for the Preakness Stakes. No other trainer in the history of the Breeders’ Cup has more double-digit victories, making Lukas’ horses some of the early race favorites.

Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile

The Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile boasts a $1,000,000 purse where the winners takes all. It has only been in existence since 2007.

There are 14 horses in the race with four automatic berths stemming from the Triple Bend Handicap, Pat O’Brien Stakes, Kelso Handicap and Clásico Copa de Oro.
