The Breeders' Cup Classic, run at 1 1/4 miles, draws the top international thoroughbreds year after year. With its $5 million purse, the Classic is the richest race in all of North America. It is open to horses 3-years-old and older and is limited to 14 starters.
With 14 starters 10 from the list won't run. With the distance cut back to 1 1/4 like the Derby then this years race should be exciting. It's a good distance for Pharoah and other strong finishers like Frosted, Tonalist, Moreno and others.
No horse has every one all 4 races. Pharoah could set a record that might never fall should he win the BBC.
