Breeders' Cup Field Selections
Dateline: 10/29/97
The fields are now set, barring withdrawal due to injury or illness. The entries are listed in alphabetical order with any also eligibles listed in order of preference. There are a few entered in two races so there will be a bit of shuffling due to their final choice. If you want more information on the field selection process, check here. A * indicates the owners had to pay a supplement to enter. The name of each horse is linked to their past performance data from Equibase in Adobe Acrobat PDF format which requires the free Acrobat Reader.
UPDATE: Final entries have been taken and post positions drawn. Get the latest list here.
