The Future Wager will enable fans to bet on 24 wagering interests for the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic well in advance of the Nov. 5 race date. Odds on horses in the future pools typically provide more value to horseplayers than those available on race day. This year’s Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic will be run at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky as a part of the 39th Breeders’ Cup World Championships.
The Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic Future Wager will consist of 23 unique wagering interests and one “All Others” wager for a total of 24 betting interests. “All Others” includes all Thoroughbreds other than the pool’s individual horses.
Betting on all Breeders’ Cup Future Wagers will be offered via Breeders’ Cup partner TVG.com, and other advanced deposit wagering (“ADW”) sites, racetracks, casinos, simulcast centers, and off-track betting sites.
Flightline is the odds-on favorite for this Saturday’s TVG Pacific Classic (G1) at Del Mar, a Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series: Win and You’re In race that guarantees the winner an automatic starting position in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic.
