Undefeated 4-year-old Flightline  has been installed as the 3-1 morning-line favorite for the first of two future wagers on this year's $6 million Longines Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) Nov. 5 at Keeneland.

The first Longines Breeders' Cup Classic Future Wager will open on Aug. 5 at 12 p.m. ET and close Aug. 7 at 6:30 p.m. ET. The second Future Wager will be offered over Labor Day weekend with the pool opening Sept. 2 at 12 p.m. ET and ending at 6 p.m. on Sept. 5.

The Longines Breeders' Cup Classic Future Wager is a $2 minimum bet and is a win wager only.

Both future bet pools will consist of 23 unique wagering interests and one "All Others" wager for a total of 24 betting interests. "All Others" includes all Thoroughbreds other than the pool's individual horses. Odds on horses in the future pools typically provide more value to horseplayers than those available on race day, though with greater risk. With the Breeders' Cup Classic field capped at 14, some horses in the future wager will not end up racing in the Breeders' Cup Classic.

Other future wager favorites include Life Is Good  (7-2) and Olympiad  (9-2), both entered the Aug. 6 Whitney Stakes (G1) at Saratoga Race Course. The Whitney is a Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In" Challenge race.
