An all Breeders’ Cup pick six wager will be offered on both days of this year’s Breeders’ Cup World Championships on November 6-7 during the Oak Tree meeting at Santa Anita Park, Breeders’ Cup officials announced on Monday.
The Championship Friday program will consist of six Breeders’ Cup races, beginning with the $500,000 Breeders’ Cup Marathon, and will be followed by five consecutive Breeders’ Cup races for females, culminating with the $2-million Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic (G1).
If nobody hits the pick six, the pool will be carried over into the Breeders’ Cup Ultra pick six pool on Saturday.
Championship Saturday will feature eight Breeders’ Cup races, culminating with the $5-million Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1).
“We believe that the schedule of six championships races on Friday and eight on Saturday will provide better balance to the program and greater betting opportunities for the fans," said Kenneth Kirchner, President of FalKirk International and wagering consultant to the Breeders’ Cup. "Fans should find the pick six sequence on Friday and Saturday to be great bets, and based on last year's $1-million Friday pick six handle, we could enjoy a substantial carryover into Saturday."
Post times for this year’s Breeders’ Cup are below along with a tentative race order schedule. The official race order will be announced on October 27.
