Breeders' Cup announced Oct. 23 the official order of races, post times, and wagering menu for the upcoming Breeders' Cup World Championships Nov. 1-2 at Del Mar in Southern California. The Breeders' Cup wagering menu will provide horse players with multi-race wagers featuring multimillion-dollar pools throughout the two-day program.
The $7 million Breeders' Cup Classic (G1), broadcast live on NBC and streamed live on Peacock, will be the centerpiece of the Championships Saturday program. To take advantage of the 2 1/2-hour national broadcast window on NBC—which also is televising college football and other events Nov. 2—post time for the Classic will be 2:41 p.m. PT / 5:41 p.m. ET. There will be four Breeders' Cup races before and four Championship races after the Classic, centering the marquee race as the end of the middle Pick 5 and the start of the late Pick 5 on the wagering menu.
Continuous coverage of all Breeders' Cup races Friday and Saturday will stream live on Peacock. Additionally, all undercard and Breeders' Cup races, except the Classic, will be shown live on FanDuel TV as part of the Breeders' Cup Players' Show coverage, which is also available on BreedersCup.com and mobile app, all major advance-deposit wagering platforms, and at simulcast facilities around the world.
