The Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic Future Wager Pool #2 will enable fans to bet on 18 wagering interests for the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic well in advance of the Oct. 31 race date. Odds on horses in the future pools typically provide more value to horseplayers than those available on race day. This year’s Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic will be run at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky., as a part of the 43rd Breeders’ Cup World Championships.
The Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic Future Wager Pool #2 will consist of 17 unique wagering interests and one “All Others” wager for a total of 18 betting interests. “All Others” includes all Thoroughbreds other than the pool’s individual horses.
Betting on all Breeders’ Cup Future Wagers will be offered via Breeders’ Cup partner FanDuel, and other advance-deposit wagering (“ADW”) sites, racetracks, casinos, simulcast centers, and off-track betting sites.
