The weather forecast for Saturday’s Breeders Cup Classic calls for abundant sunshine and zero chance of rain before or during the big race.  With that in mind, let’s look at some of the Breeders Cup Classic contenders that have performed especially well on dirt.  Sign up today at AceSportsbook.com, and they will match your initial deposit with a 100% Free PlayLive In-Play Wagering and Mobile Gambling Available. 

A better question might be which horses could perform poorly on dirt?

The 2013 Breeders Cup Classic will be Europe’s Planteur’s first race on a dirt main track and, as such, he has relatively long odds at 18/1.

Likewise, Declaration of War’s ability to run on dirt is also in question.  Like Planteur, he has never really seen a dirt track before.

Mucho Macho Man, at +450 odds, on the other hand, loves the dirt at Santa Anita.

Fort Larned we already know can run well on dirt as he is the reigning Breeders Cup Classic champion, having raced in Santa Anita last year on a dirt track.

But of all this year’s Breeders Cup Classic contenders, Game On Dude is widely considered among the nation’s best dirt runners, hence, one of the reasons he is the favorite at +140 odds.

How We Follow Horse Racing Has Completely Changed

Horse racing has always been a sport built on routine. Certain days meant certain tracks, the form guide landed when it landed, and if you missed a race, you simply caught up later. Following the sport required a bit of commitment, a bit of patience, and often a bit of guesswork.
