Saturday’s action at the Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar promises a wind-up to turf and dirt seasons like no other, as elite thoroughbreds converge for the biggest stakes of the year. With the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic leading a loaded card of championship races, handicappers and bettors alike are locked in on pace scenarios, post-position trends and trainer/jockey form.Whether you’re analysing the Filly & Mare Sprint, the Turf, the Dirt Mile or the Classic itself, the opportunity to strike value is ripe and the per-race betting pools will reflect the international punch of this world-class meeting.For those tuning in, the track conditions at Del Mar will play a critical role. The outward-facing turf layout, sweeping turns and sharp closing stretch demand horses that can either lead and hold off pressure or stalk just off the pace and finish strongly. Draw bias, recent prep form and speed figures are all key metrics to weigh up. With nine championship races on Saturday alone and lucrative wagers available across exactas, trifectas and Pick 4s, this weekend’s Breeders’ Cup card offers bettors a full arsenal of strategy, value-hunting and payout potential.Top Breeder’s Cup 2025 betting offerBreeder’s Cup (Saturday) tips5.05 Kansas Cat – 13/2 e/w with SBK5.40 Modus Bestia – 3/1 with bet3656.15 Special Wan – 2/1 with Paddy Power7.00 Sweet Azteca – 9/4 with bet3657.41 Bucanero Fuerte – 12/1 with BetVictor8.21 Imagination – 5/1 e/w with SBK9.01 Seismic Beauty – 15/8 with BetVictor9.41 Rebel’s Romance – 10/3 with SBK10.25 Fierceness – 10/3 with SBK11.05 Notable Speech – 9/4 with bet365 – NEXT BEST11.45 Nysos – 7/4 with bet365 – NAP12.25 See The Fire – 5/1 with Paddy Power*odds provided are correct at the time of writing and are subject to change.Joe’s best horse racing betting tips for Breeders’ Cup Meeting on Saturday (1st November)Find my top tips for today’s racing with odds from the best horse racing bookies below:Del Mar Race 1 5.05 The Sunrise 1m1/2fMost of this field come here with something to prove so I’m going to side with the consistent KANSAS CAT for Dan Blacker. This horse has caught the eye the last twice and bumped into Spycatcher at this track on debut for this yard which was a very good run. Luis Saez has been booked for the ride now and that is a notable plus and he looks good each way value in the betting.Twirling Point is still just a 4yo and could be capable of better. He will at least find this easier than recent assignments so should be involved in the finish. Suchet also brings potential and will probably go off favourite. Bet on KANSAS CAT each way at 13/2 with SBK Del Mar Race 2 5.40 The Ocean View 6fFlavient Prat is a jockey riding the crest of a wave right now so his rides will be worth keeping a close eye on tonight! He is on MODUS BESTIA here and this colt should have a great chance. He opened his account beating Latitude here last month and now he knows how to win could really kick on. The form stacks up and with more to come he gets a confident vote.Ghost Of Midnight has progressive form and that Santa Anita win has worked out well. Now with his new barn he could definitely be a player. Red Flag is another one who could have a say in the outcome here if bringing his best form. Bet on MODUS BESTIA to win at 3/1 with bet365Del Mar Race 3 6.15 Goldikova Stakes Presented By Yamaha’ – Grade 3 1mNo surprise to see Belardo mare SPECIAL WAN favourite for this. She remains unexposed for a 5yo and has won 2 of he last 3 now. She justified strong support to win a Grade 3 at Keeneland last time and freshened up with this the target should take an awful lot of beating under Joel Rosario.American Pharoah filly Deep Satin has Irad Ortiz Junior on now and she can build on that good fourth at Keeneland so looks the obvious danger. French raider Temptable is interesting having won her last two and this Kingman filly could be worth an each way saver. Bet on SPECIAL WAN to win at 2/1 with Paddy PowerDel Mar Race 4 7.00 PNC Bank Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint – Grade 1 7f9 of the last 12 winners were aged 4 or 56 of the last 12 winners were favourites and 7 of 12 top 3 in the betting6 of the last 12 winners won on their last run before10 of the last 12 winners had at least 1 win in Group companyI’d say SWEET AZTECA is my first confident bet of the night. She has a phenomenal strike rate having won 8 of her 10 starts to date. She arrives on a four-timer and 7f should be no problem as she has won over a mile in the past. If she brings her best then that will be enough to extend the winning sequence.Tamara is likeable and looked good at Santa Anita. The fifth has won since so that form has been franked and with more to come she can threaten most. Bob Baffert has Hope Road and she is another one who can run well. Bet on SWEET AZTECA to win at 9/4 with bet365 Del Mar Race 5 7.41 Prevagen Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint – Grade 1 5f9 of the last 12 winners were aged between 3 and 52 of the last 12 winners were favourites and 5 of 12 top 3 in the betting4 of the last 12 winners won on their last run before11 of the last 12 winners had at least 1 win in Group companyFavourites struggle in this race so Motorious is feared having won his last 3 but this is tougher and there is little value in his price. I’ve decided to chance BUCANERO FUERTE at a double-figure price. He was thriving in Ireland when last seen winning at Naas and then following up in the Phoenix Sprint Stakes at the Curragh which was a serious performance. He was beaten in the Flying Five last time but finished third and ran a big one in defeat. He is tough and likeable and should go well at a massive price.Arizona Blaze beat the selection last time and has won 2 of his last 3 so looks the obvious danger. Ag Bullet is a mare on a hat-trick and is another one who could be bang there if getting luck in-running. Bet on BUCANERO FUERTE each way at 12/1 with BetVictor Del Mar Race 6 8.21 Cygames Breeders’ Cup Sprint – Grade 1 6f10 of the last 12 winners were aged 4 or older4 of the last 12 winners were favourites but 8 of 12 top 3 in the betting9 of the last 12 winners won on their last run before11 of the last 12 winners had at least 2 wins in a Grade 1-3 raceThere are plenty in with a chance here and I could have backed 2 or 3 against the field but I have decided IMAGINATION is the one I’m happy to put forward. This colt by Into Mischief was deservedly back in the winners enclosure at Santa Anita last month and clocked a good speed figure in the process. He is completely unexposed over 6f so could have lots more to come and is taken to follow up.Kopion bumped into Sweet Azteca twice and then Seismic Beauty here back in the summer. That is all strong form and if she is in that sort of form again could prove difficult to beat. Nakatomi also arrives in winning form and at a huge price might be able to grab a place.Bet on IMAGINATION each way at 5/1 with SBK Del Mar Race 7 9.01 Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff – Grade 1 (Fillies & Mares) 1m1f10 of the last 12 winners were aged between 3 and 54 of the last 12 winners were favourites but 9 of 12 top 3 in the betting9 of the last 12 winners won on their last run before11 of the last 12 winners had at least 3 wins in a Grade 1-3 raceThis looks a great chance for the progressive SEISMIC BEAUTY to extend the winning run. She beat Kopion at this track when last seen back in August and that looks decent form. Her form stacks up and she has more to come over this trip so she is a deserved favourite and should make it 4 in a row.Nitrogen has done very little wrong having won 6 of her last 8 starts and she will be a tough filly to beat here. Dorth Vader bumped into Thorpedo Anna at Saratoga and on that form is entitled to be involved as well in a really good race. Bet on SEISMIC BEAUTY to win at 15/8 with BetVictor Del Mar Race 8 9.41 Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf – Grade 1 1m4f8 of the last 12 winners were aged 4 or older4 of the last 12 winners were favourites but 9 of 12 top 3 in the betting8 of the last 12 winners won on their last run before10 of the last 12 winners had at least 1 win in a Grade 1 raceDepending what happens on Friday Minnie Hauk could be all the rage here. I do feel she is beatable though and if the best version of REBEL’S ROMANCE turns up he could be hard to beat under Buick. He is the horse of a lifetime and showed no signs of stopping winning at the top level at Belmont last month. He obviously won this last year and he looks the value play to follow up.Minnie Hauk missed just a head in the Arc and despite having a tough race that day does look the one they all have to beat here. I’m surprised Amiloc is such a big price as his second to Al Riffa in Ireland certainly wasn’t a bad effort and he has progressive form as well so possibly worth an each way saver. Bet on REBEL’S ROMANCE to win at 10/3 with SBK Del Mar Race 9 10.25 Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic – Grade 1 1m2f9 of the last 12 winners were aged 3 or 43 of the last 12 winners were favourites and 9 of 12 top 3 in the betting8 of the last 12 winners won on their last run before12 of the last 12 winners had at least 1 win in a Grade 1 raceIt is such a shame Sovereignty has come out but as a result the race has been blown wide open. Sierra Leone is likely to go off favourite but there seems little value in his price which I do fear him. I prefer the likeable FIERCENESS who beat Journalism to win the Pacific Classic Stakes at the top level here when last seen. His best form makes him a danger to all.Sierra Leone is the danger but Forever Young will have supporters too for trainer Yoshito Yahagi. Journalism is also in here at a big price and it wouldn’t surprise me if he was well backed to hit the frame as he is a very talented horse as well. Bet on FIERCENESS to win at 10/3 with SBK Del Mar Race 10 11.05 FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Mile Presented by PDJF – Grade 1 1m4 of the last 12 winners were aged 36 of the last 12 winners were favourites or joint favourites4 of the last 12 winners won on their last run before9 of the last 12 winners had at least 1 win in a Grade 1 raceI can’t wait to see NOTABLE SPEECH over this fast mile. He was finally back in the winners enclosure in the Woodbine Mile and I know it sounds crazy but I still don’t think we’ve seen the best of him. He is such a talented horse and if things pan out favourably I think he’ll be a cut above this field.The French horse Sahlan is on a hat-trick and beat Rosallion when last seen so looks dangerous. The Lion In Winter ran huge when second to 100/1 shot Cicero’s Gift on Champions Day and if handling the quick turnaround could be another one that gets involved in terms of a place. Bet on NOTABLE SPEECH to win at 9/4 with bet365 Del Mar Race 11 11.45 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile – Grade 1 1m4 of the last 12 winners were aged 36 of the last 12 winners were favourites6 of the last 12 winners won on the last run before7 of the last 12 winners had at least 1 win in a Grade 1 raceFull Serrano won this race last year and has to be feared again but NYSOS looks the real deal for Bob Baffert. This 4yo colt by Nyquist has only tasted defeat once so far and that came to Mindframe on a sloppy track at Churchill. He looks seriously exciting and he is easily my strongest bet of the night and ticks nearly every box under Flavien Prat.Full Serrano was beaten at Santa Anita last time at short odds but is still a big player and looks the danger. White Abarrio will be rolling at the line too and looks another one who should get competitive at least. Bet on NYSOS to win at 7/4 with bet365 Del Mar Race 12 12.25 Maker’s Mark Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf – Grade 1 1m3f8 of the last 12 winners were aged 4 or older2 of the last 12 winners were favourites but 9 of 12 top 3 in the betting5 of the last 12 winners won on their last run before9 of the last 12 winners had at least 1 win in a Grade 1 raceAnother race I really can’t wait to watch unfold and I’m hoping SEE THE FIRE can prove the answer. I still can’t get that York win out my mind earlier in the season and she has done little wrong since bumping into the right horses in the shape of Ombudsman and Whirl. She was denied just a short head in France when last seen and this trip could be her optimum on fast ground. I can see her being suited by this track and the fast pace and I bet Oisin Murphy is looking forward to riding her.Cinderella’s Dream will love coming back on this quick surface and looks the obvious danger under Buick. She is also proven Stateside which is a big plus. Gezora, She Feels Pretty and Diamond Rain all add further spice to a mouthwatering finale at the Breeders’ Cup 2025. Bet on SEE THE FIRE each way at 5/1 with Paddy Power My top tip for Saturday‘s racing at Del Mar for the Breeders’ CupI’m really looking forward to seeing NOTABLE SPEECH in the Breeders’ Cup Mile. He is a high-class sort who should relish this test and prove a cut above. I have doubled him up with the exciting NYSOS in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile who is pretty faultless and can continue to fulfil his potential.
