Day two of the 2025 Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar racetrack features a full schedule of nine high-stakes races, including the Filly & Mare Sprint, Turf Sprint, Classic, and Mile, with times running from 19:00 to 00:25 GMT. This day is particularly notable as it marks the final top-level rides for legendary jockey Frankie Dettori, who will compete on Khaadem, Wimbledon Hawkeye, and Argine in his farewell Grade One appearances. Dettori’s last rides are seen as live each-way chances, though he will need exceptional performances to end his remarkable 40-year career on a high note.
The card also highlights other star contenders such as Rebel’s Romance, aiming for a third Breeders’ Cup win in the Turf, facing strong competition from Minnie Hauk and Goliath. French trainer Francis-Henri Graffard seeks to break a drought for French horses with entries including Goliath, Sahlan, and Gezora. The dirt races feature a Classic renewal with last year’s top finishers and Kentucky Derby standouts. However, the event has seen several veterinary scratches, including key contenders in the Filly & Mare Sprint and Turf Sprint, adding an element of unpredictability to an already thrilling and competitive day of racing.
