2020 Breeders Cup Odds and Betting - Why Pedigree is Important

While pedigree is certainly an important part of thoroughbred racing and absolutely in the Breeders’ Cup each year, some Breeders’ Cup winners have excelled in producing Breeders’ Cup winners themselves. Additionally, a handful of elite Breeders Cup-winning broodmares have also produced world championships winners.

In 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah won the Classic and last year his son from his very first crop as a stallion, Four Wheel Drive, captured the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint. Also last year, Sharing won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. The Graham Motion trainee is a daughter of two Beeders’ Cup Champions as she’s by 2004 Sprint winner Speightstown and out of 2010 Filly & Mare Turf winner Shared Account. Though still racing, she won’t make the starting gate for this year’s Breeders’ Cup.

Also, 1993 Distaff heroine Hollywood Wildcat produced 2000 Mile winner War Chant, who himself produced 2010 Turf Sprint winner Chamberlain Bridge.
