Our Breeders' Cup Forms Are Ready

Halloween at Keeneland: Your Breeders' Cup Game Plan

The best horses on the planet are converging on Lexington, and our Breeders' Cup forms are ready. Fourteen championship races over two days, October 30 and 31, every field drawn and every post locked in. If you've been waiting to dig in, today is the day. Grab the Friday E-Z Win® Form and the Saturday E-Z Win® Form, or pick Keeneland on the Toteboard for full tier rankings, speed figures, and PPs on every race on both cards.

Future Stars Friday opens at 2:55 p.m. ET with five Grade 1 races for 2-year-olds, and the headliner is a Baffert colt nobody has solved yet. Hughes is 4-for-4 and went off the board at even money from post 5 in the Juvenile, the shortest price on the Friday card. The Juvenile Fillies Turf delivers a rematch worth circling: Sun Goddess (6-5) arrives on a four-race win streak, while Green Empress, second to her in the Moyglare before winning the Prix Marcel Boussac, drew the rail. And don't sleep on the Juvenile Fillies, where three unbeaten fillies line up and the third of them, Manuka Honey, is 10-1. Our Friday post-draw breakdown has all five fields and the pace angles we like.

Saturday is the main event: nine Grade 1 championships worth $23 million, first post 1:10 p.m. ET. The Classic closes it out, and Forever Young drew post 5, the same post he won from at Del Mar last year, as the 2-1 favorite. Last year's Horse of the Year Sovereignty is 5-2 from post 2, but Magnitude beat Forever Young in the Dubai World Cup and Derby and Belmont winner Golden Tempo loves to come from last. With Magnitude, Knightsbridge, and Napoleon Solo all drawn side by side on the outside and all liking the lead, this one could set up for a closer.

The undercard is loaded too. Englishman is 4-5 in the Sprint from post 13, the shortest favorite of the weekend. The Distaff shapes up as a two-filly fight between Nitrogen (6-5) and Fully Subscribed (8-5), who won the Spinster over this very track. Notable Speech is back to defend his Mile title, and with Ombudsman out of the Turf, the Prix de Diane winner Diamond Necklace (3-1) and Arc runner-up Bay City Roller drew right next to each other on the outside. Every field is in our Saturday post-draw breakdown.

This is also the first Breeders' Cup run on our upgraded Horstradamus® AI rating engine, which now rates turf runners the same way it rates dirt runners, weighing actual performance alongside class. That matters on a weekend with seven turf championships. Read what changed and the results behind it.

Halloween at Keeneland with the world's best on the line does not come around often. Get your forms early, map out your plays, and let's have a big weekend.
