The 28th edition of the 2011 Breeders' Cup Classic takes place on Saturday, November, 5th 2011, at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, which means the Breeders' Cup Classic predictions have been announced!

According to most horse racing betting odds makers around the globe, the 2010 Eclipse Award, 2-year-old Champion, Uncle Mo [7/2], currently leads the category as the overall, early betting favorite later this year.

A victory would likely secure Uncle Mo 2011 United States Horse of the Year honors, if he can prove the 2011 Breeders' Cup Classic picks correct, and win the prestigious race, of course. But regardless of the outcome, Uncle Mo’s fate has already been decided once his racing career concludes.

According to his owner, Mike Repole, win or lose, Uncle Mo will ride off into the sunset, possibly after the 2011 Breeders' Cup Classic. It has been announced that Uncle Mo will stand stud at Ashford Stud, Coolmore's North America farm in Versailles, Kentucky, when his racing career comes to an end. Nevertheless, even once retired, we might see Uncle Mo make a comeback as a 4-year-old, as Repole would still own all its racing rights.

"There was no way I would sell the horse 100 percent, and the second thing I wanted was to control his racing career," Repole said. "The easiest [people] to get that deal done with was Coolmore. Their relationship with Todd Pletcher -- Rags to Riches and all the great horses that they've had together - made it easier."

The second 2011 Breeders' Cup Classic futures favorite on our list is American Filly, Havre De Grace at [5/1] odds. With 2005 American Horse of the Year, Saint Liamas her sire, Havre De Grace has lived up to the high expectations with a 2011 campaign that includes victories at: Azeri Stakes (2011), Apple Blossom Handicap (2011), Obeah Stakes (2011), Woodward Stakes (2011) and Beldame Stakes (2011).
