It’s race day! The Jockey Club Gold Cup takes place at Saratoga Race Course this evening. The race is part of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series offering a win-and-you’re in spot in the Breeders’ Cup Classic in addition to it’s $1 Million purse.
We have an interesting 7 horse field that includes several top quality horses with a real shot to win. Arthur’s Ride is a significant favorite at odds of 4/5, while Tapit Trice (4-1), Highland Falls (5-1), Disarm (8-1), and Pyrenees (8-1) are the other contenders.
In this article I will provide the morning line odds for the 7 horses in the field, my pick to win the race and a step by step guide outlining how to place your Jockey Club Gold Cup bets online.
2024 Jockey Club Gold Cup Betting Lines
Here are the morning line odds and post positions for this years edition of the Jockey Club Gold Cup from Saratoga Race Course. The odds will change leading up to the race depending on the amount of money bet on each contender.
- Tapit Trice 4-1
- Kuchar 30-1
- Bright Future 10-1
- Disarm 8-1
- Pyrenees 8-1
- Highland Falls 5-1
- Arthur’s Ride 4/5
Arthur’s Ride, who has won 4 of his 5 entered races in 2023 is a significant favorite. He’s coming off a win at the Whitney Stakes in early August.
My Pick
I think it would take a very bad race for Arthur’s Ride not to win the race this evening. He’s simply a faster horse than the rest of the field with his speed rating significantly higher than his competition. He’s also proven to be a winner crossing the finish line first in 4 of his 5 races this year.
If you want to look for a horse with longer odds I would take a look at Bright Future who has won 3 of his last 5 races, including having a fast pace to win this race last year. He had a rough showing at the Whitney Stakes, which is why he has such long morning line odds even though he’s the defending champion.
Play: Arthur’s Ride 4/5
