White Abarrio Prevails in the $6 Million Classic!
With all of the best 3-year olds, Mage, Arcangelo and National Treasure opting for the Dirt Mile, White Abarrio showed that he is truly the best older Dirt horse of 2023 with his win in the $6 Million Classic.
He now has won 3 of 5 races this year including the G1 Whitney Stakes by 6 1/4 lengths since joing the Richard Dutrow barn whom had just returned from a 10-year training ban earlier this year.
White Abarrio (5/2) was given a perfect ride by Irad Ortiz, Jr. as he was placed in 3rd behind the two early speed runners Arabian Knight (7/2) and Saudi Crown (7-1). They set the pace and battled each other around the track until Saudi Crown began to drop back leaving the 2nd turn as Arabian Knight continued on the lead to the final Furlong where he began to drop back as White Abarrio moved to the front after trailing the pace setters in 3rd.
At the same time as White Abarrio took the lead, Derma Sotogake (Jpn) (26-1) also moved up from his stalking position in 4th to challenge the new leader to no avail as he finished 2nd just 1 length behind the winner and a 1 1/4 lengths in front of the closing Proxy (17-1) who had to go 8 wide coming out of the final turn as he got up to finish in 4th a Neck in front of the pace setter Arabian Knight!
Final time for the 1 1/4 Miles was 2:02 4/5.
In the (7) Turf races the Americans only won (2) with the Euro invaders winning (5). In the Juvenile Turf Sprint Div. the Euros ran 1-2-3 with the $1 Trifecta paying $1,378 and in the Juvenile Turf Div. the Aidan O'Brien runners ran 1-2!
Of the 21 Trifecta positions in the (7) Turf Divisions, the Euros took down 12 of them.
In the (14) Divisions, there were (8) winning Favorites!
The Average Win payout was a LOW $11.37 for a $2 wager.
Average $2 Exacta only paid $100 with the $1 Trifecta paying $417 and the $1 Superfecta averaged only $3,099. The prices on the payouts this year were about 50% lower than last year because of how many Favorites won.
The biggest upset in a Breeders' Cup races occurred in the Juvenile Division when Fierceness UPSET the field at 16-1 Odds and paid $35.00 for the $2 Win wager and the $1 Superfecta paid a low $1,097. It was not a good weekend for the home track trainers as only 2 horses could finish in the Trifecta from 33 entries in the 14 Divisions! The two that hit the board were both trained by Bob Baffert, Muth in the Juvenile and National Treasure in the Dirt Mile. They both ran 2nd. Of the (4) returning champions attempting to defend their title, only Caravel (Turf Sprint) was not successful.

It gave trainer Todd Pletcher his first win in the Division! In other notable accomplishments, Bricks and Mortar won the $4 Million Turf Div. to complete an undefeated season in which he won (6) races, all of them Graded and went on to win the Eclipse Award for Horse of the Year.

Euro trainer Aidan O'Brien's son Joseph became just the second person to win a Breeders' Cup race as both a rider and trainer. The other being Sir Freddy Head.
In 2016 Arrogate defeated the favorite California Chrome in the Classic Division as jockey Mike Smith won his 25th Breeders' Cup!
2014 gave us a very exciting Classic with Bayern going wire-to-wire and was able to hold off Toast of New York and California Chrome at the wire by a neck.
The undefeated Shared Belief was only able to finish 4th after having been crushed at the start by Bayern which cost him all chances of winning.
There was a steward's inquiry with no changes being made!
In 2013 the Breeders' Cup produced (3) repeat winners. They were Wise Dan (Mile), Groupie Doll (F&M Sprint) and Jim Rome's Mizdirection (Turf Sprint).
Jockey Gary Stevens pulled off the difficult feat of winning both the Distaff (Beholder) and the Classic (Mucho Macho Man).
In 2012 super horse Royal Delta won back-to-back Distaff/Ladies Classic.
Jockey Mike Smith made Breeders' Cup history by winning his 16th Championship race on Royal Delta and with Mizdirection in the Turf Sprint for owner Jim Rome.
The Argentine Calidoscopio won the Marathon Division coming from way back to give veteran jockey Aaron Grydor his first ever Breeders' Cup win. Calidoscopio became the first Breeders' Cup winner from Argentina as well as the oldest horse to win a race - he was 9 years old.
In 2009 we saw the UNDEFEATED mare Zenyatta take on the boys in the Classic as she came from dead last to catch Gio Ponti in mid-stretch to win and remain undefeated in 14 career races!
We also saw the mare Goldikova win her 2nd straight Mile against the boys.
2008 Zenyatta won the Ladies Classic with her patented run from last to first to keep her undefeated record intact. Also Curlin was attempting to win his 2nd Classic but came up short against the Euro invaders Raven's Pass and Henry the Navigator as he finished 4th after taking the lead at the top of the stretch!
In 2003 Richard Mandella became the 1st trainer to win 4 Breeders' Cup Championship Races in the same year. 2003 also gave us the First Ever Dead-heat in a Breeders' Cup race when Johar and High Chaparral hit the wire together in the BC Turf!
In 1993 we got the BIGGEST upset in the history of the Breeders' Cup when Arcangues won the Classic at 133-1 with Jerry Bailey riding. Arcangues was a European import and did not get bet by U.S. racing fans ... not even with Jerry Bailey riding.
In the ten editions held at Santa Anita the winner of the Breeders' Cup Classic $2 Win payout has averaged a nice $45.42 with only one favorite winning!

The KEY to Betting on Breeders' Cup Races
is being able to separate the Contenders from the Pretenders. Most races will have full fields with a maximum of 14 runners and it is CRITICAL to weed out the Pretenders and False Favorites!
We have developed a Proven Winning Profile for each of the 8 Traditional Championship races and the 5 Divisions more recently added based on the past 39 years of Breeders' Cup results.
As well as 15 All-time in the Classic!
Recent winners with this Critical sire line pedigre are: Vino Rosso, Accelerate, Gun Runner, Arrogate, American Pharoah, Fort Larned, Drosselmeyer and Zenyatta.
* - Do you know which race has never been won by an European horse? * - Do you know which Prep Race has produced the MOST of the Juvenile Fillie winner? * - Do you know which which race guarantees that horses coming into it with a win streak of 5 or more will loose (they are 0 for 9)? * - Do you know which races are almost always won by a Longshot? * - Do you know which races are almost always won by the Favorite? * - Do you know which races almost always has a Longshot finish 2nd? * - Do you know which race has had a California based horse make up the Exacta in 20 of the last 23 years? * - Do you know which Prep race the winner is a certain Kiss-of-Death in the BC Sprint? * - Do you know that 10 of last 15 Classic winners had the Critical Raise A Native sire side pedigree line?
Do you think that if you had this kind of information you would be able to better handicap the Breeders' Cup races and have a better chance of zeroing in on some winners?
Would you have a better chance at cashing in on more Exacta, Trifecta, Superfecta, Pick 3, Pick 4, Pick 5 and Pick 6 wagers?
This is just a sampling of the powerful information and type of stats, angles and winning patterns that comprise the Proven Winning Profiles for each of the 14 Breeders' Cup races!
Breeders' Cup Races are NOT what they seem at first glance.
That's Why you need the Proven Winning Profiles!
