Breeders’ Cup adds 2 new wagering propositions

ARCADIA, Calif. — The Breeders’ Cup is offering a new betting proposition involving the $5 million Classic and $2 million Ladies’ Classic, and another wager on the jockey who wins the most races during the two-day event at Santa Anita.

Bettors can try to correctly select the winner of the Ladies’ Classic on Nov. 6 and the Classic on Nov. 7 in the new daily double wager.

The Head2Head Jockey Bet will open for advance wagering on Nov. 5 and will close before the running of the Marathon the next day. It will cover the 14 Breeders’ Cup races and a morning line will be published.

Also being offered are two all-Breeders’ Cup Pick Sixes, 10-cent superfectas, rolling Pick 3s and $5.5 million in guaranteed pools.

Last year, more than $155 million was wagered on the event.
