Flightline after his Metropolitan Handicap win at Belmont Park
Undefeated Flightline closed as the favorite following the completion of betting Aug. 7 in Pool #1 of the Longines Breeders' Cup Classic Future Wager.
A $2 wager on Flightline will pay $6.98 with Kentucky's penny breakage, which puts him at 2-1 on the final odds board. Winner of the Hill 'n' Dale Metropolitan Handicap (G1) June 11, Flightline led the field of 23 horses and one "all others" wagering interest in the first Future Wager pool for the $6 million Longines Breeders' Cup Classic (G1), which will be run at Keeneland Nov. 5 in Lexington.
Pool #1 of the Future Wager generated $205,249 in total handle, which was a 138% increase from the first pool of the Classic Future Wager in 2018, the last time this wager was offered. The Longines Breeders' Cup Classic Future Wager is a win bet only with a $2 minimum.
The second Future Wager will be offered over Labor Day weekend with the pool opening Friday, Sept. 2 at noon ET and ending at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 5.
Betting on all Breeders' Cup Future Wagers will be offered via Breeders' Cup partner TVG.com, and other advanced deposit wagering ("ADW") sites, racetracks, casinos, simulcast centers, and off-track betting sites.
