Undefeated Flightline closed as the favorite following the completion of betting on Sunday in Pool #1 of the Longines Breeders' Cup Classic Future Wager. A $2 wager on Flightline will pay $6.98 with Kentucky's penny breakage, which puts him at 2-1 on the final odds board. Winner of the Hill 'N' Dale Metropolitan Handicap (G1) on June 11, Flightline led the field of 23 horses and one “all others” wagering interest in the first Future Wager pool for the $6 million Longines Breeders' Cup Classic (G1), which will be run at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky, on Nov. 5.
Pool #1 of the Future Wager generated $205,249 in total handle, which was a 138% increase from the first pool of the Classic Future Wager in 2018, the last time this wager was offered. The Longines Breeders' Cup Classic Future Wager is a win bet only with a $2 minimum.
Flightline was followed in the Future Wager by Life Is Good at 6-1 ($15.56). Trained by Todd Pletcher, Life Is Good was an impressive winner of Saturday's Whitney Stakes (G1) at Saratoga. The 3-year-old Epicenter, winner of the Jim Dandy Stakes (G2) at Saratoga on July 30, was next at 7-1 ($17.42). Dubai World Cup (G1) winner Country Grammer was the fourth betting choice at 12-1 ($27.14). (Complete list of Will Pays for the 24 betting interests appears below).
The Longines Breeders' Cup Classic Future Wager enables fans to bet on possible contenders for the Longines Breeders' Cup Classic well in advance of the World Championships in November. Odds on horses in the pools could be more attractive than those available on Nov. 5.
The second Future Wager will be offered over Labor Day weekend with the pool opening on Friday, Sept. 2 at 12 p.m. ET and ending at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 5.
Betting on all Breeders' Cup Future Wagers will be offered via Breeders' Cup partner TVG.com, and other advanced deposit wagering (“ADW”) sites, racetracks, casinos, simulcast centers, and off-track betting sites.
