The Breeders' Cup Classic is more prestigious than ever, with a $7 million purse in 2024. The race is not only the apex of the horse racing season, but it is one of the most eagerly awaited betting opportunities of the year as well. The Breeders’ Cup Classic is aptly named, as it covers the American classic distance of 1 ¼ miles on the dirt track. It is open to horses aged three and above.

2024 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Picks and Predictions

The $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile is the showcase for rising stars on the dirt. The winner often wins the Eclipse Award for champion juvenile, and also becomes one of the early favorites on the Kentucky Derby trail. The race covers 1 1/16 miles on the dirt track at Del Mar, and is open to two-year-olds.

2024 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile Picks and Predictions

The $1 million Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile, the premier event for middle-distance dirt horses, will bring the Breeders’ Cup to its thrilling conclusion. The race is open to horses aged three and above, and always attracts a mixture of stretch-out sprinters, horses turning back from Breeders’ Cup Classic preps, as well as stone-cold milers. Cody’s Wish won the race in unforgettable fashion in 2023, and parlayed that victory into Horse of the Year honors.

2024 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint Picks and Predictions

The Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint is a special challenge, as its one-turn, seven-furlong distance requires not only sharp speed, but the class to carry it a furlong past the distance of many other sprint races. The $1 million race is open to fillies and mares aged three and up. Goodnight Olive won it for the second consecutive time in 2023, and her retirement led to a competitive division leading into the 2024 edition.
