The Breeders’ Cup Classic is Saturday, November 5 at 6:15 PM EST. It is held at Churchill Downs in Kentucky.
As Horse races go this is a big one. Below is a helmet camera video of one of the favorites, a mare named Havre de Grace, with rider Gabriel Saez in the saddle. “It’s very similar to to the work before the Beldame that we had at Delaware Park,” said trainer Larry Jones, describing the workout as more of a gallop. “We’re not worried about fitness so much as we’re worried about handling the track. Watching the helmet cam with Gabe you could tell every time he called on her a little bit she gave him something.”
