-- Only one of the 49 horses that have gone off at 100-1 or higher has hit the board. Arcangues came from the other side of the pond to win the 1993 Classic as the biggest longshot in Breeders’ Cup history, returning $269.20.

-- Inside Information posted the largest margin of victory in Breeders’ Cup history when she walloped her competition by 13 ½ lengths in the 1995 Distaff at Belmont. 23 horses have won by the shortest margin of victory, a nose, including Bar of Gold in the F&M Sprint in 2017.

-- Foreign based runners have had tremendous success in Breeders’ Cup events. They’ve won 70 races overall, including a remarkable 59 of the 137 (43%) run on the grass. They’ve won seven on conventional dirt and four synthetic track races.
