If you’re in Las Vegas this week, Circa Sports has already posted its two-way, fixed-odds market for the Classic.
Flightline is currently available at -185 (bet $185 to net $100) to win and +150 (bet $100 to net $150) to lose. Epicenter is +750/-1140, while Life Is Good’s odds are +800/-1240.
Bob Baffert’s Taiba, who drew the rail, is +1000/-1600. Happy Saver, Pletcher’s second entry in the race, is +4000/-6600, and the Doug O’Neill-trained Hot Rod Charlie is available for +1540/-2640.
Olympiad, trained by Bill Mott, has odds of +1400/-2400, and Eric Reed’s Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike is +3400/-5800.
Those who bet in the pari-mutuel pools for the Classic and other Breeders’ Cup races on Friday and Saturday will get the benefit of truer payouts due to Kentucky’s new law that requires tracks to pay winnings to the penny. Before the law was enacted in July, tracks rounded down to the dime for each $1 wagered.
