Updated: 09/03/02

Pool three is now closed and final odds can be viewed here.

The National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) has set the fields for this weekend's Breeders' Cup Future Bet Pool Three. This time the races will be the Breeders' Cup Classic, the Breeders' Cup Distaff, and the Breeders' Cup Sprint. Street Cry is once again the morning line favorite for the Classic, while Azeri is again favored in the Distaff and the field in the Sprint. Pools will be open August 30 - September 2, from 1:00-7:00 p.m. (ET) each day.

Under Breeders' Cup Future Bet rules, each race will offer pari-mutuel groupings of 23 runners plus one field entry consisting of all horses not in the body of 23 for each respective race. All betting, available at outlets nationwide, will be win-only with a minimum wager amount of $2.00. At the conclusion of wagering on August 11, odds for all entries become final. No refunds are made on horses that do not ultimately compete in their designated races. Arlington Park will serve as the processing hub for all wagers.

  • Thursday, July 4 - Sunday, July 7: Breeders' Cup Classic, Breeders' Cup Distaff and Breeders' Cup Sprint (Pool I) - Final Odds
