The Breeder's Cup is billed as either the World Cup or the Super Bowl of horse racing, depending on which country you live. Breeders Cup betting is also a great year-end challenge to the dedicated horse player. It started with ten races in 1983 and has grown into three days of racing, with two full cards on the flat and one steeplechase race usually held the week before the flat races. Breeders Cup betting strategies center around the flat races.

Win Only

Some years, Breeders Cup betting is just like betting on any other card on any other race day. Some races are so wide open that it's just not worth betting on. This way, the Breeders Cup bettor can focus on just a couple of the races where there is a chance of making a profit. It's better to put ten dollars on a simple win bet for one race than to loose all of the other races with one dollar bets.

Cumulative

Before the initiation of the Breeders Cup betting Challenge, players liked to do cumulative bets on some or all of the races on that day's card. If their horse wins the first race, then all of those winnings are put on the nose of the horse in ...
... the next race, and so on. Some tracks held their own Pick Six challenge or Pick Eights for the day's card or for selected races on the two day's cards, so check your local track or Off Track Betting (OTB) parlor to see what is on offer.

Betting Challenge

The Breeders Cup Betting Challenge began in 2009 at Santa Anita and plans on being a continual feature of the series. But you need to fork out five hundred dollars just to enter. This is a first come-first served entry. Only 100 bettors are allowed to duke it out for first place Breeders Cup betting Challenge winnings of $150,000.
