2008 Breeders' Cup Introduction
The 25th running of the Breeders' Cup World Championships, to be run October 24 & 25, 2008 at Oak Tree at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California.
Selection process
All Breeders' Cup fields are limited to 14 runners. If more than 14 are pre-entered, Breeders' Cup officials use a two-part selection system to decide which horses will be allowed to compete. The first seven runners earn automatic berths based on the points they have earned in American graded stakes races then a panel of racing directors and secretaries choose the next seven entrants.
Through 2006, there were eight races on the Breeders' Cup card, all classified as Grade I races. In 2007, three races Dirt Mile, Filly and Mare Turf, and Juvenile Turf were added, all of them run the Friday before the remaining eight races. Three more new races a Turf Sprint, Juvenile Filly Turf and Dirt Marathon were also added for 2008.
Santa Anita Park
Santa Anita occupies approximately 320 acres. Its landmark, 1,100-foot-long Grandstand seats 26,000 guests. The giant Infield area accommodates many thousands more. Behind the scenes are 61 barns, capable of housing more than 2,000 horses and a complete equine hospital.

Types of Breeders' Cup Classic Bets
Win, Place and Show
Win: You win if your horse finishes first.
Place: You win if your horse finishes either first or second.
Show: You win if your horse finishes either first, second or third.
The easiest bet to win is a show bet. If your selection finishes third or better, you win. The Pick 6, requiring the bettor to select six consecutive winners in as many races, or the Superfecta, requiring the bettor to select the correct 1-2-3-4 order of finish in a given race, are the most difficult. The higher the risk, the greater the payoff.
2-Horse 2008 Breeders' Cup Betting Odds

Daily Double: Selecting the winners of two designated (consecutive) races.

2007 Breeders Cup Results
 Curlin has now beaten the Kentucky Derby winner twice, the leading older horse twice and avenged his most recent defeat.
Derby winner Street Sense tried to catch Curlin with one of jockey Calvin Borel’s patented rail-skimming rides, but was unable to make up ground Saturday in the stretch over a sloppy track at Monmouth Park. Curlin defeated Derby runner-up Hard Spun by 4½ lengths.
Curlin’s record speaks for itself: six wins, a narrow loss to the filly Rags to Riches in the Belmont Stakes and two thirds in nine races for earnings of $5.1 million.
Curlin, a son of Smart Strike, covered the 1¼ miles in a fast 2:00.59 over a sloppy track and returned $10.80, $5.20 and $4.20. The track record is 2:00 2/5 set in 1962 by Carry Back.
while Hard Spun paid $7.60 and $5.80. Awesome Gem, a 28-1 shot, returned $9.40 for the show. The exacta paid $70.80, while the $1 trifecta paid $645.30.
