The Breeders’ Cup Classic is here, bringing the world’s best thoroughbreds to Del Mar for horse racing’s biggest weekend. Whether you’re a seasoned bettor or just tuning in for the excitement, this is your chance to get in on the action with top sportsbooks offering major promos.

FanDuel Racing takes center stage, as it’s the only platform that lets you use one wallet for sports, racing, and casino— making it easy to jump between bets. You can sign up through the FanDuel Sportsbook offer instead to claim $300 in bonus bets, offering incredible value in addition to the racing app.

If you prefer other options, DraftKings Sportsbook connects directly with DK Horse, and BetMGM also has its own racebook (available in Florida, Ohio, and Louisiana). But the sportsbook bonuses are where the real value lies, especially with so much action on the line in the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

Bet on your favorite horse, follow the odds live, and make your Breeders’ Cup weekend one to remember!

FOX Sports Wagering Expert Chris Fallica’s Top Breeders’ Cup Betting Takeaways

• Classic (Main Event) – Fierceness (No. 1) is Fallica’s pick to win again after dominating the Pacific Classic; Forever Young and Sierra Leone are strong but a notch below. Mindframe could be live for a Repole 1–2 finish.
• Dirt Mile – Nysos (No. 3) is Fallica’s surest win bet of the entire weekend; Full Serrano (No. 6) is the only real threat if he gets an easy lead.
• Turf – Rebel’s Romance (No. 1) is the one to beat after winning this race last year; Fallica expects a stretch duel with Minnie Hauk (No. 8).
• Filly & Mare Sprint – Confident backing of Tamara (No. 4) after Kopion scratched; Richi (No. 9) could upset on the cutback if the pace collapses.
• Turf Sprint – Bucanero Fuerte (No. 11) is his value play, with great form and rider synergy; Motorious (No. 1) is too short a price to back outright.
• Juvenile Turf – Longshot alert: Gordon Pass (No. 7) could surprise at 20-1; Irad Ortiz’s mount for trainer Walden is "live."
• Filly & Mare Turf – Diamond Rain (No. 6) and Cinderella’s Dream (No. 9) are his preferred Euros over over-bet favorites She Feels Pretty and Gezora.
