How to Bet the Breeders’ Cup Classic
Open the Keeneland card in the BUSR Racing section, select Race 12 on Saturday and choose your bet. Here are the most popular ways to play the Breeders’ Cup Classic.
Back one horse to finish first (Win), first or second (Place), or in the top three (Show). Example: a $10 win bet on Forever Young (JPN) at 2-1 would return about $30 if the price held. Final payouts are set when betting closes.
Pick the first two (Exacta) or first three (Trifecta) finishers in exact order. Box your horses to cover them in any order, or key your top pick on top for a cheaper ticket.
Pick the first four finishers for the biggest single-race payouts, or connect the Breeders’ Cup Classic with other races in Daily Doubles, Pick 3s, Pick 4s and Pick 5s on the Keeneland card.
