Selections for BC World Championship

Selections for the 42nd Breeders' Cup World Championships

BY JENNIFER MORRISON

The two biggest days in racing, the Breeders' Cup World Championships, get underway Friday, October 31 and Saturday, November 1 at Del Mar Racetrack in San Diego. There are 14 Cup races with five of them on Halloween and the Grade 1 Juvenile Turf Sprint kicks off those events at 5:45 p.m. Eastern.

The European contingent is a strong group (I have picked five of them on top) and trainer Aidan O'Brien is three Group 1's away from matching the record he set of 28 in a season in 2024.
