While some people fixate on the Kentucky Derby each year, my favorite horse racing event has long been the Breeders’ Cup World Championships. I just love rapid-fire elite races across two days with every million-dollar stakes another chance for a big score. If you had a truly rancid opinion in one race, just put it behind you and move onto the next golden opportunity to cash a big ticket in about 30 minutes.

The 41st running of the Breeders' Cup World Championships kicks off this Friday in Del Mar, California, with several of the world's best thoroughbred horses competing in more than a dozen races over the weekend, including the tournament's flagship event, the Breeders’ Cup Classic on Saturday. In addition, Future Stars Friday, held on Nov. 1, consists of five juvenile races across both dirt and turf to identify the best young horses in the competition. The action continues on Saturday with nine more races across different surfaces and divisions, including the signature Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic, where a maximum of 14 qualifying horses who, along with their jockeys and breeders, will vy for over $7 million in prizes.
Coverage of the Breeders' Cup World Championships – including the Breeders' Cup Classic – will air on NBC and Peacock on Saturday starting at 3:30 p.m., but if you're looking for comprehensive coverage of every race on Friday and Saturday, here's everything you need to know about the Breeders' Cup, including where to stream, and the full schedule.
If you prefer grass races to dirt, there are plenty of options on the turf. Prefer stamina tests rather than sprints, you are in luck at Breeders’ Cup. If you are a chalk player, you might get 3-1 or 7-2 on the most likely winner instead of 8-5 or 2-1 on a normal raceday. There is something for all types of bettors Nov. 1-2 at Del Mar.
This yearly feature is all about big prices: double-digit value bets and 20-1 or 30-1 longshots. I’m not predicting longshots will win every race, or even the majority of the 14 championship races, but upsets frequently happen at the Breeders’ Cup and I’m on the lookout for longshots in every race that might lead to a hefty reward.
