Breeders' Cup Sprint Analysis & Handicapping Picks
Our expert handicappers are excited about the upcoming Breeders' Cup Sprint, picks and handicapping are below!
2026 Breeders' Cup Saturday All-Dirt Pick 4 Wager; 50-cent Pick 4: 3,6,7 with 5,7,11,13 with 2,4,8 with 2,5,7 ($54)
John Mucciolo thoughts; The Cherie DeVaux-trained #13 Englishman (4-5) has been electric, with four dominant wins when sprinting in his career and will be one of the shorter-priced favorites over the two days of racing during the Breeders’ Cup. The Maxfield colt was assigned the widest post in the field, which might be to his benefit to avoid trouble, and he has fired off a trio of bullet works in succession leading up to the event. But, the colt is facing his toughest assignment to date and toppling him will add great value to this sequence.

#3 Liam Smith (20-1) is also three years old, but he’s shown blinding speed over 6 1/2 furlongs and may prove difficult to catch. Last time out, in a $50,000 allowance optional claimer at Santa Anita, he set fractions of :20.92, :42.86, and 1:07.38 on his way to victory by 5 1/2 lengths in 1:13.90. Liam Smith looms as a dangerous pace player in the Sprint, and there’s a chance he makes the lead and never looks back.

Breeders' Cup Sprint Race History
The Breeders’ Cup Sprint is a recently raised $2 million race contested at 6 furlongs. The world’s fastest Thoroughbred’s compete among open competition for horses three-years-old and older. The BC Sprint has been run every year since 1984 with Eillo winning the inaugural race at Hollywood Park.
The 1989 BC Sprint at Gulfstream was a memorable race, as the filly Safely Kept turned for home in the lead following blistering splits. But jockey Angel Cordero, Jr. came flying along the rail with Dancing Spree to nip her by a nose at the wire for owner Ogden Phipps.
The 2015 winner Runhappy, a three-year-old son of Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver, won as the 8-5 favorite in a then track-record time of 1:08.58 at Keeneland.
Many of the winners from the Breeders’ Cup Sprint go on to earn honors as American Champion Sprint Horse from the Eclipse Awards, including Elite Power (2022) Whitmore (2020) Mitole (2019) Roy H (2017, 2018), Whitmore (2020), Mitole (2019), Drefong (2016), Big Drama (2010), Squirtle Squirt (2001).
