FanDuel, BetMGM Route Breeders' Cup Bets to Racing Apps as $7 Million Classic Nears

Summary
FanDuel Racing and BetMGM Racebook are taking Breeders' Cup wagers this weekend, but bettors generally cannot place them through the companies' main sportsbook apps.
Horse racing uses pari-mutuel wagering and is regulated separately from sports betting, pushing Breeders' Cup betting onto dedicated racing platforms whose availability varies by state.
FanDuel Racing is available in more than 20 states and lets existing sportsbook users share the same wallet, while BetMGM Racebook is live only in Florida, Louisiana and Ohio.
Keeneland is hosting the 2026 Breeders' Cup, with Saturday's card culminating in the $7 million Classic and defending winner Forever Young listed as the 2-1 morning-line favorite.
The event underscores the Breeders' Cup's growing U.S. draw after Keeneland welcomed a globally deep field for championships offering more than $30 million in purses.
