As a race that crowns the best two-year-old dirt runner in the world, the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile carries a purse of $2 million. While the race was once considered a mere platform for precocious colts, the race has proven to be a launching pad for Kentucky Derby winners with Street Sense becoming the first juvenile winner to wear roses the following year in 2006 and Nyquist accomplishing the same feat in 2015.
The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile is an annual showdown between the best two-year-olds on the east coast taking on their west coast counterparts. The race has also drawn a sampling of European runners over the years.
Occasionally part of the lucrative Pick 6 and Pick 4 betting pools, the Juvenile is almost always an excellent wagering race regardless of its position on the card. The fattened Breeders’ Cup betting odds mean bigger payouts on wagers like the double, Pick 3, exacta, trifecta and superfecta wagers. Double-digit win payoffs per $2 minimum wager has been the rule rather than the exception over the years.
