You don’t have to make a big wager to get in on the Breeders' Cup World Championships action. 🏇

Breeders’ Cup Weekend offers plenty of ways to play the races, including:

💰 10¢ Superfectas
💰 50¢ Trifectas
💰 50¢ Pick 4s and Pick 5s
💰 $1 Win, Place & Show wagers
💰 $1 Exactas and Daily Doubles

With 14 Grade 1 championship races across Friday and Saturday, there are plenty of ways to build a ticket — from picking one horse to combining several horses or races for the chance at a larger payout.

Payouts are based on the pari-mutuel betting pools, so they vary depending on the results and how much is wagered.

Not sure what some of these wagers mean? Stop in to Favorites OTB and ask — we’ll help you get started.
