2024 BC Classic Overview

The feature race of the Breeders’ Cup weekend, the Classic has been run every year since the BC began in 1984
Open to horses age three and older, Zenyatta in 2009 is the only mare to ever win the race.
At odds of 134-1 in 1993, the $2 Win payout for Arcangues was $269.20, still the record for any Breeders’ Cup race

2024 BC Classic Betting Angles

Only four horses have ever won the Kentucky Derby/Classic double, and only one of those coming in the past 35 years
Seven of the past 10 winners had won their race previous to the Classic, two others were second, one was third
Five of the past 10 winners took the field wire-to-wire. All others were no worse than third at the half-mile mark.

2024 BC Classic Odds and Payouts

The post-time favourite has won the Classic the past two years in a row, and four of the past 10, with the second favourite winning three times
No winner in the past 10 years has been at odds higher than 6-1
In five of the past 10 years, the runner-up has been in double digit odds
$2 Win payouts have averaged $7.72 in the past 10 races, $1 exacta payouts have averaged $50.65

2024 BC Classic Handicapping

Obviously horses have to be in top form to even make it to the Classic, but this is borne out by the fact every one of the past 10 winners either won or hit the board in their previous race. What’s interesting is that those don’t necessarily have to be the very top-level races, as Classic winners have emerged from Grade 3 and Grade 2 races, as well as several Grade 1s.

Much like the Kentucky Derby, deep closers rarely win. Horses that can get out of the gate and establish a good forward position early tend to have the most success.

Despite the fact it is the “Classic” distance, 1 1/4 miles is not actually a common distance for North American racing, so pay attention to horses that have already done well going that far.

Don’t be afraid to throw a couple double-digit long shots into exactas, as those bets have recently paid off 50% of the time.
