Each week a panel of media members, horseplayers, and Breeders’ Cup World Championships officials release a poll tabulating their votes on the nation’s top contenders for the 2023 Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic. Cody’s Wish maintains his No. 1 spot while Forte moved up to No. 2 in the rankings after his victory in the Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga Race Course.
The rankings are determined by each voter ranking their top 10 horses with points assigned on a descending 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis. The rankings will be updated each week through Oct. 10.
