Breeders' Cup Classic Information

The Breeders' Cup Classic is a Grade 1 Weight for Age thoroughbred horse race for 3 years old and up, running a distance of 1 1/4-miles. It is held annually at a different racetrack in the United States or Canada as part of the Breeders' Cup.

The Classic is considered by many to be the premiere thoroughbred horse race of the year, and its $5 million is unmatched. Oftentimes, the winner goes on to win Horse of the Year honors, as have Saint Liam and Ghostzapper, the 2005 and 2004 winners respectively. Due to the extremely high quality of horses in the event, the race is notoriously hard to predict. One notable example of an underdog winning the Classic is the victory of Arcangues in 1993. This was the biggest upset in Breeders' Cup history and his $269.20 payoff for a $2 wager remains a Breeders' Cup record.
