• Golden Pal is favored at -160 to win Race 6 in the Breeders Cup.
• Battleground has +450 odds to win Race 7.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Day 1 of the Breeders Cup is well underway and there are plenty of races for horse racing bettors to wager on.

Big races like Race 6, Race 7, and Race 8, have sports bettors clamoring for action as the Juvenile Fillies and Juvenile Turf progresses.

Golden Pal, Battleground, and Princess Noor are the early favorites at online racebooks, with heavy action leaning in their direction. With the many races still to come, legal horse race bettors will be cashing in big.

Race 6

Race 6 has a lot of key young colts that have sports bettors checking betting lines for. The current favorite is Golden Pal, with most of the action being sent in his direction.

The two-year-old colt is coming off of a 1st place victory in the Skidmore race as well as placing 2nd in the Norfolk Stakes and the MSW. It is no surprise that Golden Pal is favored in the Juvenile Turf Sprint as well as its speed has been proven all year.

Sports bettors should also look at the longshot odds on Bodenheimer, however, as the young thoroughbred has boasted impressive speeds of its own.

The 1:02.70 time posted for the Indiana Summer Stakes was a firm turf course record. This makes the Valorie Lund trained horse seem promising in the Juvenile Turf run for Race 6.

Race 7

Following the sixth race, sports bettors are leaning heavily in favor of Battleground to claim victory in his big race.

Battleground has placed 1st in his last two races, the Vintage Stakes and the Chesham Stakes. In both victories the young colt post impressive times; 1:28.80 and 1:30.62 respectively.

Battleground does have some competition in this race, however as New Mandate is coming out of Gate 2, and has a lot of action being taken on him as well. Expect both these horses to be in the top three at minimum, making the +150 odds on New Mandate a wise wager.

Race 8

Race 8 is the perfect event to partake in betting on the Top 3 as the race is simply too close to call. Despite Simply Ravishing being the favorite at +300, other horses have just as impressive of resumes to compete for the straight win.

Coming out of the first gate does give a little bit of advantage to the young colt, and the +300 odds would deem profitable. The smart move, however, would be to at least hedge your bet and take action on the top three as well.

The Breeders Cup will be a two-day event filled with betting action. Legal sports betting sites will be hosting some of the best odds for both days filled with racing.
