Post Position Draw Breeders’ Cup 2012 Odds
The 2012 Breeders’ Cup World Championship post positions were drawn late this afternoon setting early morning odds for the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic.
The big news of today’s post position draw was that Dullahan was cross-entered in The Breeders’’ Cup Classic and the Breeders’ Cup Turf. Dullahan opted to race on the grass so will be a leading contender in the Breeders’ Cup Turf. Game On Dude is the early favorite for the Classic with 9-5 odds (for my beginners this means you’ll make $5.60 on a $2.00 bet with Game On Dude for the win). Game On Dude has a “home field advantage” at the Santa Anita racetrack. He currently is 5-0. The 5-year-old gelding (again, for my beginners, a gelding is a castrated horse) drew the 5th place post position for the 29th running of the Breeders’ Cup Classic.
Below you’ll find contenders, post positions, trainers, jockeys, and early morning line odds for the 2012 Breeders’ Cup Classic and Breeders’ Cup Ladies Classic set to take place on November 2 & November 3. The 2012 29th Breeders’ Cup Challenge will air on Saturday November 3rd on NBC. Post time is set for 5:30 PM PDT, 8:30 PM EST.
