Breeders' Cup betting menu explained - carryovers, two-day wagers, etc.
Super High 5 bets offered on every race on the Friday and Saturday cards at Del Mar, including the 14 Breeders’ Cup races, will only pay out the pool on a perfect ticket and will roll over to the next race if there is no ticket with the winning combination, according to Breeders’ Cup.
The Super High 5, which requires a bettor to pick the first five horses in order, will have a 50-cent minimum and will be offered on all 10 races scheduled for Friday and all 12 races scheduled for Saturday. The bet will have no consolation payouts and a mandatory payout on the Breeders’ Cup Classic, the last race on Saturday’s card, if there is any carryover into the race.
The pick 6 will also carry over to Saturday’s pick 6 if no ticket has the correct sequence, but the bet will have a mandatory payout on Saturday. Breeders’ Cup will offer five pick 5 bets, two on Friday and three on Saturday. The pool for any of those pick 5 bets that does not have a winning ticket will carry over into the late pick 5 on Saturday, which will have a mandatory payout.
The pick 6 on Saturday will link races 7-12, starting with the Filly and Mare Turf and running through the Sprint, the Mile, the Distaff, the Turf, and the Classic. The late pick 5 will start with the Sprint and run through the Classic. The pick 6 will have a $1 minimum, while the pick 5, pick 4, and pick 3 will all have 50-cent minimums.
Superfectas offered on both cards will have a 10-cent minimum. All other bets will have a $1 minimum, with the exception of the trifecta, which will have a 50-cent minimum.
Breeders Cup is also offering a pick 4 on the Saturday card linking the four Breeders’ Cup turf races – the Turf Sprint, the Filly and Mare Turf, the Mile, and the Turf.
There will be three double bets linking races on Friday and Saturday. The Juvenile Turf on Friday will link with the Turf on Saturday; the Friday Juvenile Fillies will link with the Distaff on Saturday; and the Friday Juvenile will link with the Classic on Saturday.
Rolling pick 3s and daily doubles will be offered throughout both cards.
