2025 Breeders Cup Classic Betting Odds at Del Mar racecourse

Saturday, 01 November 2025

The 2025 Breeders' Cup Classic will take place over one mile and two furlongs, with Sovereignty understandably favourite after a string of victories. William Mott trains a three-year-old who was able to score in his previous four outings. It’s hard to pick any faults with this talented horse, although the prize money has attracted star quality.

There’s nearly £3 million going to the winner, with Sierra Leone having hit the frame on a regular basis this term. Chad C Brown has a four-year-old who could deliver for each-way punters, with Fierceness having landed two victories this season. Forever Young has won two of three efforts this season and could be another good bet.

2025 Breeders' Cup Classic Betting Tips

There’s been everything to like about the performances of Sovereignty this season and perhaps the Breeders’ Cup Classic will be landed by the three-year-old. William Mott saddles a horse who was last seen winning at Saratoga at the end of August. That was a straightforward success after a previous triumph at the same track.

In June, the horse was sent off at 5/2 in the Belmont Stakes over one mile and two furlongs, with favourite Journalism beaten by three lengths. There was also a Kentucky Derby success at Churchill Downs in early May. The 8/1 shot performed really well on a sloppy track to oblige over one mile and two furlongs, with everything to like about the horse’s form.

Sierra Leone has only been able to register one victories in four outings this season. Chad C Brown saddles a runner who last ran well at Saratoga despite only finishing second in the Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes. That came after an early August success in the Grade One Whitney Stakes at Saratoga after a runner-up spot in the Stephen Foster Stakes.

Fierceness can go well for Todd Pletcher and the season has been book-ended by victories so far. There was a win at Del Mar at the end of August where the horse was able to beat Journalism by three lengths. This came in the Pacific Classic Stakes, with the runner able to perform well when obliging in the Alysheba Stakes at Churchill Downs.
