When is the Breeders’ Cup Classic 2024? Del Mar date, start time, runners and betting

The Breeders’ Cup Classic is likely to be the final race of City Of Troy’s short-but-stellar career as a racehorse.

The Justify colt has four Group 1 successes on his CV and will bid to become Aidan O’Brien’s first winner in the dirt-race feature at the Breeders’ Cup.

City Of Troy has been drawn in stall three at Del Mar and will need to break quickly if the £2,866,142 top prize – and a place in the history books – is to be secured after 1m2f.

You can run the rule over our Breeders’ Cup Classic odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details about this year’s renewal can be found below.
