The Breeders' Cup, in conjunction with Churchill Downs, announced Aug. 22 the introduction of future wagering on this year's Breeders' Cup World Championships. 

Breeders' Cup Future Wagers will be conducted in three pools beginning with Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) and Longines Breeders' Cup Distaff (G1) wagering opening Aug. 24 at noon. The Classic Future wager pool will conclude at 6 p.m. ET Aug. 26, and the Distaff Future wager pool will conclude at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Hronis Racing's Accelerate, a 12 1/2-length winner of the TVG Pacific Classic (G1), has been installed as the 4-1 favorite in the first Breeders' Cup Classic Future Wager, and Monomoy Stables, The Elkstone Group and Bethlehem Stables' 3-year-old filly Monomoy Girl, the Longines Kentucky Oaks (G1) winner, is the 7-2 morning-line favorite in the Longines Breeders' Cup Distaff Future Wager.

Both the Classic and Distaff Future Wager pools opening this Friday 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.

Wagering was suspended on Unbridled Mo (No. 22) in the Breeders' Cup Distaff Future Wager due to her announced retirement.

The second Breeders' Cup Future Wager pool will include the Sentient Jet Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sire Future Wager, and will open Aug. 31 and close Sept. 2.

The third and final Future Wager pools, scheduled to open on Oct. 5 and close on Oct. 7, will consist of the Breeders' Cup Classic Future Wager #2 and the Longines Breeders' Cup Turf (G1). 

The wager is a $2 minimum bet and a win wager only. 

Betting on all Breeders' Cup Future Wagers will be offered at Churchill Downs tracks, via Twinspires.com and other advanced deposit wagering ("ADW") sites, racetracks, casinos, simulcast centers, and off-track betting sites.  

Future wagering on the second pool, opening Aug. 31 for the Sentient Jet Breeders' Cup Juvenile and the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sires, also will consist of 23 unique wagering interests and one "All Others" wager for a total of 24 betting interests.

Pools for the third and final Breeders' Cup Future Wager opening Oct. 5 on the Breeders' Cup Classic and the Longines Breeders' Cup Turf are tentatively set for a total of 15 unique wagering interests and one all others wager.

"Working together with our partners at Churchill Downs, we look forward to expanding the Breeders' Cup wagering product for our fans with three exciting future wagering opportunities prior to this year's World Championships," said Breeders' Cup President and CEO Craig Fravel.  

There are no scratches or refunds. Should Breeders' Cup officials determine during the three-day run of the set pool that a wagering interest has suffered an injury or other circumstance that would prevent that horse from competing in the Breeders' Cup, wagering on that interest will be immediately suspended.
