Breeders' Cup 2017 pre-entries announced; see the fields
The Breeders' Cup announced pre-entered fields Wednesday morning totaling 187 horses for the Nov. 3-4 championships at Del Mar.
A maximum of 14 horses can run in each race aside from the Turf Sprint, which features a full field of 12. "Win and You're In" race winners get preference, and a Breeders' Cup racing directors/secretaries panel determines preference of those outside the prospective fields.
Seven races will have overflows. Here are the fields as of Wednesday -- in alphabetical order -- with the post position draw next week:
