Breeders’ Cup Presents The News Minute: Let The Handicapping Begin

With 184 entries, including 48 Breeders' Cup Challenge Series Win and You're In victors, 37 international competitors and four returning champions, officials drew post positions for the Nov. 6-7 Breeders' Cup world championship races today at Keeneland in Lexington, Ky.

There are nine full fields in the 14 races, including four of the five Future Stars Friday Breeders' Cup races on Nov. 6, giving horseplayers a virtual feast of handicapping opportunities.

The three Bob Baffert horses in the $6-million Breeders' Cup Classic drew the three outside post positions in the field of 10, headed by 5-2 morning line favorite Improbable in post eight. Trainer Barclay Tagg had hoped his Tiz the Law would draw outside, but he was not so lucky, drawing the No. 2 post position.
