The Breeders’ Cup Future Wager gives you the opportunity to lock down potential Breeders’ Cup contenders early as they compete towards locking-in starts for their specific divisions. A future wager bet can offer larger payouts for horses who win their Breeders’ Cup race because the fields are still relatively unknown.
The Breeders’ Cup Classic will offer two opportunities for placing a future wager and the Distaff, Juvenile, Turf and Juvenile Sire future wagers will present one advanced offering.
