- The 37th Breeders’ Cup Classic is this Saturday, with bettors focusing on prop bets like Maximum Security against Tiz The Law for even odds.
- Other prop bets include By My Standards (+225) against Authentic (-300), and the winning horse to have one word in its name for +115 odds.
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The legendary Breeders’ Cup Classic is set to run this Saturday from Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky.
This will be the 37th edition of the prestigious event, with a $6 million purse on the line.
The lineup for the Classic this year is jam-packed with big names in the horse racing world. Two of the three winners from the 2020 Triple Crown schedule are in the field, with Belmont Stakes winner Tiz The Law and Kentucky Derby winner Authentic ready for action.
However, it is four-year-old Improbable that holds the shortest betting odds at horse betting sites to win the Classic. After a series of wins in the Hollywood Gold Cup, Whitney Stakes, and the Awesome Again Stakes, it’s easy to see why the racebooks and bettors are giving it the nod.
Breeders’ Cup Classic Odds - Winner
- 1. Tacitus +2800
- 2. Tiz The Law +350
- 3. By My Standards +2000
- 4. Tom's D'Etat +500
- 5. Title Ready +5500
- 6. Higher Power +4000
- 7. Global Campaign +2500
- 8. Improbable +275
- 9. Authentic +550
- 10. Maximum Security +450
While horse racing bettors will be flocking to place their bets on the overall winner, there are a number of valuable prop bets also available for the race.
Individual matchups are an important piece of any big horse race bet sheet, and this Breeders’ Cup is no different.
Race Matchup - 10. Maximum Security v 2. Tiz The Law Odds
- 10. Maximum Security EVEN
- 2. Tiz The Law -130
Tiz The Law was the triple crown favorite before coming up short in the Kentucky Derby. Getting Tiz The Law at -130 is a great value, even if it is against worthy competition in Maximum Security.
Tiz The law ran an impressive 1:46:53 to win the Belmont Stakes and could run an equally strong race at a similar track this Saturday.

Race Matchup – 3. By My Standards v 9. Authentic Odds
- 3. By My Standards +225
- 9. Authentic -300
Another great value pick is Authentic in this matchup with By My Standards. Authentic is the Kentucky Derby winner who had good showings at all the early Fall races, while By My Standards is a newcomer without the same long-track experience. However, at +225 it could be worth the gamble.
