The Breeders Cup is just around the
corner as many of the world’s top horses do battle for a staggering prize
fund of $28 million. This year’s two day event is set to take place over
the 3rd and 4th of November at Del Mar race course.
The Breeders’
Cup Classic is the key event of the meeting and of the international flat
racing calendar. The year ending race has a purse of $6 million and is targeted
for many of the top middle distance dirt horses. The race is a grade 1 for 3
year olds and above and is ran over a distance of 1 ¼ miles.
The
highest rated horse in the world is Arrogate who is back to defend his crown
following his triumph over odds on favourite California Chrome in the 2016
running of the race. Following this Arrogate went over to Meydan and won the
Dubai World Cup with a staggering victory which put him as the highest rated
flat horse since the great Frankel.
Following several months off
Arrogate returned to the track but ran no race and was turned over at odds of
1/20 in and finished 4th of the 5 runners in the race. Arrogate again ran below
expectations when finishing 2nd of the seven runners at odds of
7/10.
The Breeders cup
odds have Arrogate as the 5/2 second favourite to return to form and cement
himself as still the best horse in training. Check out the infographic below
that covers all you need to know about the Breeders Cup and the key contenders
from the US and Europe. |
