Default 8/5-7 (KEE): Breeder's Cup Classic Future Wager ~ Pool 1

Flightline listed as Breeders' Cup Classic Future Wager favorite

Matt Hegarty | Aug 04, 2022

Flightline, the undefeated 4-year-old who romped to victory in the Metropolitan Mile in his only start this year, has been listed as the 3-1 morning-line favorite for the Breeders’ Cup Classic future pool, which opens on Friday.

Flightline is one of 24 betting interests in the Classic future wager, along with 22 other individual horses and an “all-others” option. Betting will close at 7:30 p.m. Eastern on Sunday.

Flightline, who is being pointed to the Sept. 3 Pacific Classic, is being listed as a narrow favorite over Life Is Good, 7-2 on the morning line. Next up is Olympiad, the 4-year-old colt riding a five-race win streak, at 9-2. Every other single horse in the field is listed at double-digits.

Four of the horses in the future-wager field are entered to run in Saturday’s Whitney Stakes: Life Is Good, Olympiad, Hot Rod Charlie (20-1), and Americanrevolution (20-1).

Americanrevolution (20-1),
Charge It (15-1),
Corniche (30-1),
Country Grammar (20-1),
Cyberknife (30-1),
Dynamic One (30-1),
Early Voting (20-1),
Flightline (3-1),
Emblem Road (30-1),
Epicenter (20-1),
Express Train (30-1),
First Captain (30-1),
Hot Rod Charlie (20-1),
Life Is Good (7-2),
Mandaloun (30-1),
Nest (20-1),
Olympiad (9-2),
Rich Strike (30-1),
Royal Ship (30-1),
Stilleto Boy (30-1),
Taiba (30-1),
Tawny Port (30-1),
Zandon (30-1),
“AllOthers” 30-1.

This weekend’s Classic future-wager pool is the first of two scheduled this year for the race. The other will open on Sept. 2 and close on Sept. 5, Labor Day.

The minimum wager is $2, and takeout is 16 percent.

Why is Corniche included and why is anyone wagering any money on him?

Corniche 61-1 on Xpressbet. Stilletto Boy has the longest odds right now of 87-1. Epicenter 7-1, but the horse that beat him in the Derby Rich Strike 25-1.

I don't think Life is Good should even run in the Classic or Olympiad, for that matter.

Where would you like to see Life is Good run? If it's not the Classic, is the Dirt Mile your choice? Unless Flightline is in that race, I don't know if I want to see Life is Good win that race in another romp. I doubt Jackie's Warrior would be stretched out that far. I suppose Jack Christopher and Early Voting could be pointed in that direction and that could make for an interesting race but I still think Life is Good wins fairly easily. The only matchup out there that I really want to see is him vs Flightline.
