|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | In Italian | Chad Brown Joel Rosario | 3-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: U.S.-based front-runner should be loose on the lead in 10f race, longest of career, got nailed at odds-on in last pair | ||||||
| 2 | Warm Heart | Aidan O'Brien Ryan Moore | 7-2 | |||
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: Back-to-back G1s in Europe stamp her a top contender with no distance concerns, both G1s were at 1 1/2 miles | ||||||
| 3 | With The Moonlight | Charlie Appleby William Buick | 12-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: European G2 winner not far removed from top of division, second to In Italian in summer, second to Fev Rover last | ||||||
| 4 | Moira | Kevin Attard Flavien Prat | 12-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: Ontario-bred was early star in Canada, just 1 for 7 vs. older, got dusted by Fev Rover last, fifth in 2022 BC FM Turf | ||||||
| 5 | Win Marilyn | Takahisa Tezuka Christian Demuro | 30-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: Outstanding 2022 capped by win in prestigious G1 Hong Kong Vase, this year Japan-bred and -based 5yo not the same | ||||||
| 6 | Inspiral | John Gosden Frankie Dettori | 7-2 | |||
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: Five-time G1-winning miler in Europe rerouted here by rain, first try beyond 8f but this 10f race does start downhill | ||||||
| 7 | Lindy | Brendan Walsh Tyler Gaffalione | 20-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: Enters off solid G1 runner-up in second U.S. start, a race restricted to 3yo fillies, major class challenge vs. older | ||||||
| 8 | Fev Rover | Mark Casse Javier Castellano | 8-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: Close to In Italian in summer, recent WO G1 victory better than looked: dueled inside, took back, re-ralled outside | ||||||
| 9 | Didia | Ignacio Correas Vincent Cheminaud | 15-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: Major class test after strong G2 comeback win over SA course vs. modest locals, 1 1/4M perfect distance | ||||||
| 10 | McKulick | Chad Brown Irad Ortiz, Jr. | 15-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: Consistent G2/G3-caliber stayer this season ranks below cream of division, but will run all day and likely big price | ||||||
| 11 | Lumiere Rock | Joseph O'Brien Dylan McMonagle | 8-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: Third in LCH G1 that produced FM Turf winners Wuheida, Audarya, and Tuesday; cozy trip in second position? | ||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: Although veteran mare ranks a couple notches below top females in Europe, 1 1/4M in her wheelhouse | ||||||

The horses that compete in these championship races can claim their berths in multiple ways. The first is by winning a Breeders' Cup Challenge race. The second is through a system that allows horses to earn points based on their performance in major races throughout the year. The third way to be selected is to be chosen by a panel of experts. There are a maximum of 14 horses in each Breeders' Cup race, except the Dirt Mile and Juvenile Turf Sprint, which are limited to 12 starters.
