He was the race day favorite to win the Kentucky Derby before finishing 15th in the only Triple Crown race he ran. 

City of Troy, sired by Triple Crown winner Justify, drew post No. 3 and is the 5-2 favorite as he's won six of seven career races. Forever Young (6-1), Next (8-1) and Ushba Tesoro (12-1) have the next shortest odds to win the 2024 Breeders' Cup Classic, which has a post time is 5:41 p.m. ET. 

Before locking in any 2024 Breeders' Cup bets, you NEED to see what longtime horse racing guru Jeff Hochman has to say.

Hochman excels handicapping multiple sports, and his knowledge in horse racing is second to none, having grown up into the sport. He covered horse racing for Picks PAL from 2005 to 2007 and specializes in graded stakes races. Jeff has shown a profit in 22 of the past 36 Triple Crown Races. One example of Jeff's best picks was Big Brown (post No. 20) in the 2008 Kentucky Derby at odds of 2-1. Jeff knew that the No. 20 post would be perfect for his running style. More recently, Jeff swept (3-0) the 2022 Triple Crown, capped off by Mo Donegal's easy win in the Belmont Stakes. In 2023, he cashed the Preakness with National Treasure. In 2024, he successfully tabbed Straight No Chaser to win, place, and show in the Grade 2 Santa Anita Sprint Championship at odds of 3-2. Join here to win your Breeders' Cup bets!

Much like his sports betting philosophy, quality over quantity is the name of the game. Whether a horse is 8-5 or 15-1 on the money line, Jeff will find the best possible horse pick(s) from around the country to help you profit long term. Jeff uses a proprietary formula when selecting horse picks. In addition, he utilizes proven handicapping systems along with jockey/trainer advanced metrics to determine if a horse offers value and is "sitting" on a big race. Once all the boxes are checked on a particular horse, it's go time!  Sometimes playing a horse that is 8-5 offers value, because Jeff has the line at 4-5. Depending on the field size and morning line, Jeff will recommend his selection(s) to either win, win & place, or across-the-board (win, place, and show). Join SportsLine here to see which epic longshot to back this year!
