Breeders' Cup Friday: Post positions, odds and more
"Future Stars Friday," as the kickoff to Breeders' Cup weekend is now known, will feature five stakes races for the juveniles Friday afternoon at Churchill Downs. After hit with a deluge Wednesday evening into Thursday, the skies have cleared here in Louisville, Ky., leaving a main track that's drying out and a turf course expected to be yielding.
First post time for 10 races under the Twin Spires is 12:55 p.m. ET. Note that Race 2 could produce a maiden runner or two to watch moving forward, and Race 3 includes Kentucky Derby runners of the past, Patch and J Boys Echo. Stakes action begins in Race 4 with the Street Sense for 2-year-olds.
Then it's on to to the Breeders' Cup action at 3:21 p.m. ET.
