The card-closing finale on day two of the Breeders' Cup is the Breeders' Cup Classic. This 10-furlong Grade One, run on the Del Mar dirt in 2021, is one of the world's most lucrative races, and a first prize of over $3m.

Let's take a look through the odds for this year's Breeders' Cup Classic and highlight the notable entries.

2021 Breeders' Cup Classic Entries

Knicks Go will bid to end his stellar career on the track with a fifth Grade One victory. Brad Cox's Pegasus World Cup and Whitney Stakes winner warmed up for Del Mar with a simple Grade Three success last month, and he tops the betting with bet365.

Sitting second in the market we find one of the stars of the season so far, Essential Quality. Since finishing fourth in the Kentucky Derby, Cox's three-year-old has won the Belmont, Jim Dandy and Travers Stakes, and he'll be getting four pounds from his older stablemate.

Kentucky Derby winner, Medina Spirit bounced back to form in the Awesome Again Stakes last time out, and he'll fly the flag for Bob Baffert. Doug O'Neill will throw recent Pennsylvania Derby winner, Hot Rod Charlie into the mix too.

Three further seasonal Grade One winners, Art Collector, Max Player and Tripoli feature in the Breeders' Cup entries. Express Train and Stiletto Boy round off the field.
