Breeders’ Cup 2022 Stars
In this section of the Breeder’s cup preview, we will look ahead to some of the stars that could make the biggest headlines at the event this year.
Flightline- Classic
One of the most exciting horses in the U.S. is Flightline, and he will be looking to maintain his perfect record on track in the Classic this year.
The four-year-old looks like a clear favorite in the betting, and many are expecting a special display following his victory in the G1 Pacific Classic.
Annapolis- Mile
U.S. success on the turf is likely to be rare at the Breeders’ Cup given the amount of European talent embarking on Keeneland.
However, Annapolis could be one of the standout winners for Todd Pletcher, as the three-year-old has already excelled over course and distance this season.
Mishriff- Turf
A lot of attention will be on the younger runners in the Breeders’ Cup Turf this year, but one of the highest-rated turf horses in the world could offer value.
Mishriff has been extremely dominant when he has performed at his top level throughout his career, and connections are hopeful that he can deliver a special swansong performance under Frankie Dettori at Keeneland this year.
