| 1 | Nakatomi | Wesley Ward Luis Saez | 15-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: Pace-dependent late-runner needs help up front, which might be too much to hope for, will pick them off in lane | ||||||
| 2 | Dr. Schivel | Mark Glatt Juan Hernandez | 5-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: Game winner local prep missed by nose 2021 BC Sprint, back in form age 5, up-front style in field light on speed | ||||||
| 4 | Hoist The Gold | Dallas Stewart John Velazquez | 15-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: Responded to bold pace-pressing strategy to upset KEE G2 with career-best fig, live longshot forwardly placed | ||||||
| 5 | Three Technique | Jason Cook Rafael Bejarano | 30-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: Appears a notch below, probably wants longer distance, closing style a liability in race with tepid pace scenario | ||||||
| 6 | The Chosen Vron | Eric Kruljac Hector Berrios | 4-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: Overcame a tough trip to win G1 over pair of next-out graded winners, 13-for-17 Cal-bred gelding will fire fresh | ||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: Comeback runner-up to Dr. Schivel was super, 'Beach and 'Schivel leading candidates to set moderate fractions | ||||||
| 8 | Elite Power | Bill Mott Irad Ortiz, Jr. | 8-5 | |||
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: BC Sprint winner in 2022 had eight-race win steak snapped last, closing style problematic in field short on true heat | ||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| BF: Six furlongs optimum trip this season, shortens from mile with consecutive 108 Beyers in summer that top field | ||||||

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.
