|
||||||
|

4. | Bolshoi Ballet | Aidan O'Brien John Velazquez | 15-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
BF: Relished "yielding" and modest foes to crush G1 SAR, finished sixth at 39-1 odds BC Turf two years ago, cut below? | ||||||
5. | Auguste Rodin | Aidan O'Brien Ryan Moore | 5-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
BF: Irish colt returned to form G1 over deep field, BC Turf leading trainer started 32 in this race: 6 wins, 6 seconds, 5 thirds | ||||||

|
||||||
|
||||||

|
||||||
|

BF: England shipper back two weeks after thrilling G1 with Dettori, top trainer seeks first BC win with ninth BC runner | ||||||
12. | Balladeer | George Papaprodromou Victor Espinoza | 30-1 | |||
|
||||||
|

||||||
|
||||||
BF: Veteran mare inhaled males on "yielding" at BAQ, third in 2022 BC Turf, this year's field much stronger and deeper | ||||||

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.
