Sovereignty looks to cap off an incredible campaign as the +175 favorite in the Breeders' Cup Classic on Saturday, November 1.
His runaway triumph in the Travers Stakes set the tone in the Breeders' Cup odds, and subsequent eye-catching wins from Fierceness in the Pacific Classic, Antiquarian in the Jockey Club Gold Cup, Baeza in the Pennsylvania Derby, and Forever Young in the Nippon TV Hai Stakes have done little to dissuade bettors from the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes victor.
Let's look at the latest Breeders' Cup odds for the $7 million Classic as well as the Distaff and the Sprint, which will all be held the weekend of Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, 2025 at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club.
