Max Player will pay out $80 for every $10 bet to win the 2021 Breeders Cup Classic.
Steve Asmussen is his trainer, Ricardo Santana his jockey.
Max Player, who drew the outside post, has won his last two starts: The Grade 1 Jockey Club and Grade 2 Suburban Handicap. Both of those stakes were at the Classic's distance of 1 1/4 miles.
"I love the Classic as a race," said George Hall, who owns Max Player along with his SportBLX Thoroughbreds group. "I was third in 2011 with Ruler On Ice , which was great. There's a lot at stake in the Classic, and I'm happy to be back."
