02/27/2008 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Breeders' Cup officials have announced that the 2008 World Championships will be split with the five female races all taking place on the first day. The 25th Breeders' Cup will be conducted at Santa Anita Park on Friday, October 24 and Saturday the 25th.
The five races restricted to female thoroughbreds will be run on Friday and the remaining Breeders' Cup races will be held on Saturday. This year's Breeders' Cup has been expanded to 14 races from the 11 in 2007.
The five races to be conducted on the first day are the $2 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, $1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, $1 million Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint, $2 million Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf and $2 million Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic.
"The initial response from the Breeders' Cup family including ESPN, our marketing partners, nominators and Trustees has been extremely supportive and enthusiastic," said Breeders' Cup President and CEO Greg Avioli. "By shifting some of our traditional Saturday races to Friday, we ensure that Friday stands on its own as an international competition of the highest level. This new format provides a great stage to showcase the talents of the best female Thoroughbreds in the world."
The 2008 Breeders' Cup World Championships has a total purse of $25.5 million, Friday's five races constitute $8 million of that total.
Last year's Breeders' Cup was held at Monmouth Park for the first time and was the first to be conducted over two days.
The Breeders' Cup plans to develop a series of Championship festivities designed to promote the new Friday format. Among the activities will be cause- related programs focused on women's health.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
