Breeders' Cup Turf Analysis & Handicapping Picks

Our expert handicappers are excited about the upcoming Breeders' Cup Turf, official picks and analysis found below!

#2 BENVENUTO CELLINI (6-1): Irish Derby (G1) star from the O'Brien shedrow hasn’t been at his best over soft going in two straight but wouldn’t be a surprise in this superb field in his U. S. debut. The Frankel colt has a nice slot near the fence for his stateside bow and will be a menace at the top of the lane under Ryan Moore.

Longshot Thoughts; Unlike Ethical Diamond, who has excelled more in heritage handicaps than in Group company overseas, Tiffany has a stronger foundation in pattern events. She earned a belated Group 1 success on Aug. 9 in Germany, against males, and a month later claimed the Kentucky Turf Cup (G2) over Ethical Diamond under a rail-skimming ride by regular pilot Luke Morris.

Breeders' Cup Turf Race History

Inaugurated in 1984 as part of the initial Breeders’ Cup launch, the Breeders’ Cup Turf is a left-handed race on turf over 1 1/2 miles eligible for three-year-olds and up. Since this is a turf contest, the Breeders’ Cup Turf attracts talent from all over the world and is a primary destination for many European runners. The current purse for the Breeders’ Cup Turf is $5,000,000.

The Washington D.C. International Stakes laid the groundwork for an international turf race at the World Championships. Run from 1952 up until 1994, the Washington D.C. International was hosted by Laurel Park and won by 22 American runners and 21 foreign representatives. The most prestigious winner is Kelso, who scored victory in the 1964 renewal.

The inaugural winner of the Breeders’ Cup Turf in 1984 was also the longest shot to win the race, as Lashkari chased down the world champion filly All Along in the deep stretch to pull off the upset at near 25-1 odds at Hollywood Park. Lashkari paid $53.40 to win. 

Back-to-back winners of the Breeders’ Cup Turf include Conduit in 2008 and 2009, and High Chaparral in 2002 and 2003. The 2003 edition ended in a thrilling three-horse photo finish and a rare dead heat with Johar and High Chaparral trained by Aiden O’Brien crossing the line together as turf champions.

The Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series started in 2007, and there are 12 ‘Win and You’re In’ Challenge races that award the winner a fees-paid entry to the Breeders’ Cup Turf. While most are run in the US, a number of races are run in countries like the UK, Japan, France, Ireland and Argentina

The 2016 BC Turf winner Highland Reel also qualified by winning a challenge series race in July, the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes, a Group 1 race run at Ascot Racecourse in England. Highland Reel went on to run a record-time race in the Breeders’ Cup Turf, opening a 7 length lead at the mile marker and holding off the favorite Flintshire in the stretch to win by nearly 2 lengths.
