The Breeders' Cup Classic is set to take place on Saturday at Del Mar, featuring 14 horses vying for the $7 million prize. City of Troy, a turf-to-dirt newcomer, tops the morning-line odds at 5-2, but racing expert Michelle Yu believes he may not be the strongest contender. Yu, an analyst and reporter with TVG, HRTV, and the Breeders' Cup, is backing Fierceness, Travers Stakes winner, as her top pick. Additionally, she recommends a double-digit longshot who has been a fan favorite.
