The 2012 Breeders’ Cup race order was released for the Breeders’ Cup World Championships, which will be held this year at Santa Anita Park on Nov. 2-3.
While Friday’s card will be run in the same order, there were several changed made to the order of Saturday’s races.
The $1 million Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (formerly Race #8) will now be run as the sixth race on Saturday. The $2 million Grey Goose Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (formerly Race #10) will now be run as the eighth race and the $1.5 million Xpressbet Breeders’ Cup Sprint (formerly Race #6) will now be run as the 10th race.
“With the Sprint drawing a large and talented field this year, we thought it would be best for our fans to bolster the latter portion of Saturday’s card by placing it in third to last position, preceding the Mile and the Classic,” said Bob Elliston, Breeders’ Cup Chief Operating Officer. “Closing Saturday’s card with the Turf, Sprint, Mile and Classic should reward the sharp handicapper with big value returns.”
Future wagering on the Breeders’ Cup is now available at Bovada.lv.
