"The Breeders' Cup continues to offer the biggest fields of Grade 1 horses,

combined with a wagering menu that that offers betting value from top to bottom

and across all pools," said Ken Kirchner, President of FalKirk International and

the manager of the Breeders' Cup wagering and simulcasting operations for the

last 17 years. "With 50-cent trifectas, Pick 3s, Pick 4s and Pick 5s, along with

10-cent superfectas, and a Pick 6 that has paid millions of dollars in the past,

players understand that they are only one bet away from cashing a ticket that

could make their wagering year!"

Each Breeders' Cup World Championships race will feature a maximum of 14

horses and wagering interests with the exception of the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile,

which is limited to 12 starters. In addition to the standard Win, Place and Show

betting, there will be Exacta and Trifecta wagering on every race and rolling

Pick 3 wagers beginning with the first race and continuing through all races on
