The positions of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies and the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf were switched on the Friday program and the Breeders’ Cup Sprint and the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile were switched on the Saturday program from the tentative order announced in September.

“The anticipated field for the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf came up very strong with eight Grade/Group 1 winners from the UK, France, Japan, Canada and the U.S. It deserves top billing with the Ladies’ Classic,” said Ken Kirchner of FalKirk International, who directs the wagering product for Breeders’ Cup Ltd. “The Dirt Mile is also a very deep, high-quality field with eight Graded stakes winners. This change also makes a good grouping of the two sprints and the two juvenile races in the early $1 million guaranteed Pick 4 and a grouping of the Classic, Turf, and two mile races in the $1.5 million guaranteed late Pick 4.”

The Breeders’ Cup Pick 6 on Friday will be comprised of the six Championships races and have a guaranteed gross pool of $750,000. The Ultra Pick 6 on Saturday will carry a $2 million guaranteed gross pool and be comprised of the Turf Sprint, Juvenile, Mile Turf, Mile Dirt, Turf and Classic races.

Meanwhile, the Breeders’ Cup and The Voice-Tribune have teamed up to give two fans the opportunity to win $5,000 in the “Breeders’ Cup Fashion $5K” on Nov. 5 at Churchill Downs. Fans can enter the fashion contest in the Aristides Garden in the Paddock from 2 to 4 p.m.

A panel of judges comprised of local notables will select the three most stylish men and the three most stylish women from the entrants who walk the purple carpet. The finalists will then return to the Aristides Garden to be judged by a panel of celebrity judges to be announced. The winning male and winning female will each receive $5,000.
