| Post | Horse/ Best Beyer | Trainer/ Jockey | Odds and comments by David Aragona | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Satono Carnaval NA-NA | Noriyuki Hori Rachel King | 15-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Dazzling Tokyo debut winner was more workmanlike over shorter trip last time; bred to get at least this far. | ||||||
| 2 |
Dream On
90-74-60
|
Mark Casse Jose Ortiz | 12-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Sudden Beyer improvement in Summer perhaps casts some doubt on that form; possesses plenty of early speed. | ||||||
| 3 | Noble Confessor 76-58-72 | Todd Pletcher Tyler Gaffalione | 20-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Still a maiden after three starts, but arguably best when just missing to Zulu Kingdom in soggy Pilgrim turf debut. | ||||||
| 4 | Al Qudra 91-NA-NA | Charlie Appleby James Doyle | 6-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| MH: Second-best to New Centry in the Summer when bumped around late; still earned fast Beyer for top connections. | ||||||
| 6 |
Iron Man Cal
79-76-61
|
Phil D'Amato Antonio Fresu | 30-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Placed first after getting bumped at the wire of local prep; 2-for-2 at the distance, but now faces much tougher. | ||||||
| 7 | Seagulls Eleven NA-NA-NA | Hugo Palmer Luis Saez | 10-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Chased home the best 2YOs in Europe in recent starts; right there with Henri Matisse in G1 National two back. | ||||||
| 8 | Zulu Kingdom 76-80-NA | Chad Brown Flavien Prat | 8-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Lone Chad Brown representative is 3-for-3, but both 2 US stakes wins have been eked out with perfect trips. | ||||||
| 8 | Minaret Station 78-69-65 | William Walden Cristian Torres | SCR | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Pulled off a massive upset when closing into a fast pace to win the G2 Bourbon, but this is a stronger group. | ||||||
| 9 | The Waco Kid NA-NA-NA | Hugo Palmer Tom Marquand | 20-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Caused minor upset over Monumental in the G3 Tattersall, leading throughout, perhaps suited by soft ground. | ||||||
| 10 | Mentee 83-63-88 | Todd Pletcher John Velazquez | 15-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Full to Classic contender Fierceness attempts to stretch out after winning turf debut sprinting in the Futurity. | ||||||
| 11 | New Century 93-NA-NA | Andrew Balding Oisin Murphy | 4-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Turned the tables on rival Al Qudra to win G1 Summer; overcame a poor start, but did get fantastic pace setup. | ||||||
| 12 | Aomori City NA-NA-NA | Charlie Appleby William Buick | 15-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Beaten by a couple of these in G1 National, but prior form had been strong; Buick lands on this one for Appleby. | ||||||
| 13 | Henri Matisse NA-NA-NA | Aidan O'Brien Ryan Moore | 5-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Went 3-for-3 early on but then lost 2 G1s as favorite; barn knows how to win this, but got handed a tough draw. | ||||||
| 14 |
Tenacious Leader
73-80-74
|
Todd Pletcher Irad Ortiz, Jr. | SCR | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Lone turf try was a gritty one when fighting back against Zulu Kingdom at Saratoga; then disappointed on dirt. | ||||||
| 15 | Sabertooth (AE) 79-72-55 | Tim Yakteen Kazushi Kimura | SCR | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Maiden has officially finished 2nd in all 4 starts, including 2 local stakes after getting elevated via DQ last time. | ||||||
| 16 | Kale's Angel (AE) 72-74-52 | Peter Miller Paco Lopez | SCR | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Non-threatening 4th in local prep for this after breaking his maiden in 5F turf sprint; needs to show a lot more. | ||||||

The horses that compete in these championship races can claim their berths in multiple ways. The first is by winning a Breeders' Cup Challenge race. The second is through a system that allows horses to earn points based on their performance in major races throughout the year. The third way to be selected is to be chosen by a panel of experts. There are a maximum of 14 horses in each Breeders' Cup race, except the Dirt Mile and Juvenile Turf Sprint, which are limited to 12 starters.
