Results for the 2007 World Championships Breeders’ Cup races at Churchill Downs.Curlin took out Street Sense and Hard Spun in a rematch of Triple Crown races to win the Classic. The 2007 Breeders’ Cup at Monmouth Park was a sloppy mess as it rained Friday and Saturday. Handle was down 20 percent compared to last year and attendance was off, although that was due to the smaller track fan capacity at Monmouth. The Breeders’ Cup held three new races on Friday but that did not improve the overall handle this year. Wagering on the three new races totaled $19.8 million.
The total wagered on all 11 races on Saturday was just over $125 million. Without the addition of the three races on Friday, the handle was well off and the lowest since 2001. Betting on the $3 million guaranteed pick six was well down from last year, perhaps due to the bad weather. Even with the bad weather, favorites in the Breeders’ Cup did pretty well. Indian Blessing and War Pass won the first two races on Saturday as favorites. Midnight Lute also won as a favorite on Saturday. Overall, this year’s Breeders’ Cup did not see the huge long shots of past years. The biggest payoff this year was on Nownownow on Friday who paid $27.20 to win. The biggest payoff on Saturday went to Lahudood who paid $25.40. Here are the results for the 2007 Breeders’ Cup beginning with Friday’s three races.
