2021 Breeders' Cup Classic odds, horses, line: National handicapping champion releases full leaderboard, top picks
An elite field will square off in one of the world's most prestigious races when the starting gate opens on Saturday in the 2021 Breeders' Cup Classic. The Brad Cox-trained Knicks Go is the 5-2 morning-line favorite in the 2021 Breeders' Cup Classic odds. Belmont Stakes winner Essential Quality, who also is trained by Cox, is the 3-1 second choice in the nine-horse 2021 Breeders' Cup Classic field. Post time for the 1 1/4-mile race is 8:40 p.m. ET.
With an elite field ready to enter the starting gate on Saturday, you'll want to hear how handicapping champion Jonathon Kinchen has analyzed the race.
Kinchen is one of the nation's most successful and recognizable horseplayers. An analyst for Fox Sports' America's Day at the Races, Kinchen won the National Horseplayers Championship Tour in 2015, a demanding, yearlong series of handicapping events across the country. And at last year's Breeders' Cup, he finished second out of 418 contestants in the prestigious Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge, which earned him $215,000 in prize money. After factoring in his profit during the 14 Breeders' Cup races, he took home more than $366,000 on the day.
Anyone who has followed him is up HUGE.
This year's Classic features an elite field. Seven of the nine horses already have won a Grade 1 race. Six of the nine already have earned more than $1 million in their careers. The race also has brought together a slew of horses with early speed. At least four horses -- Knicks Go, Medina Spirit, Art Collector and Hot Rod Charlie -- like to race on or near the lead. The presence of so many speed horses increases the possibility of a pace meltdown and a late runner winning the race.
Kinchen has handicapped the 2021 Breeders' Cup Classic field, made his picks and constructed his bets.
One surprise: Kinchen is completely tossing Medina Spirit, even though he is one of the top favorites at 4-1. "I really think he will fall apart," Kinchen told SportsLine. Kinchen has Medina Spirit ranked eighth in the nine-horse field and will not use Medina Spirit on any tickets.
Kinchen's top pick is a horse who will take advantage of Saturday's pace, sending his backers straight to the payout window! He is using this horse in his wagers, and so should you. You NEED to see Kinchen's analysis before making any Breeders' Cup Classic picks of your own.
