Breeders' Cup odds for the 42nd annual thoroughbred championships are on the move following Stephen Foster Day at Churchill Downs.

Mindframe beat Sierra Leone as well as several other Breeders' Cup Classic hopefuls in the Stephen Foster Stakes, but he's still looking up at Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes champion Sovereignty as well as Preakness winner Journalism.

Meanwhile, Thorpedo Anna added to the Classic intrigue following her bounce-back victory in the Fleur de Lis Stakes.

Let's take a look at the latest Breeders' Cup odds for the $7 million Classic as well as the Distaff, which will be held the weekend of Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, 2025 at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club.
