The Jockey Club Gold Cup takes place at Saratoga Race Course this Sunday, August 31st. The race is part of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series offering a win-and-you’re in spot in the Breeders’ Cup Classic in addition to it’s $1 Million purse.
We have an interesting 9 horse field that includes several top quality horses with a real shot to win. Sierra Leone is the favorite at odds of 8/5, while Mindframe (2-1), Highland Falls (5-1), and White Abarrio (8-1) are the other contenders.
In this article I will provide the morning line odds for the 9 horses in the field, my pick to win the race and a step by step guide outlining how to place your Jockey Club Gold Cup bets online.
2025 Jockey Club Gold Cup Betting Lines
Here are the morning line odds and post positions for this years edition of the Jockey Club Gold Cup from Saratoga Race Course. The odds will change leading up to the race depending on the amount of money bet on each contender.
- Disarm 15-1
- Highland Falls 5-1
- Sierra Leone 8/5
- Mindframe 2-1
- White Abarrio 8-1
- Contrary Thinking 50-1
- Phileas Fogg 15-1
- Antiquarian 12-1
- Banishing 15-1
Sierra Leone, who is coming off an impressive win at the Whitney Stakes in early August is the favorite, while Mindframe, who won the Stephen Foster Stakes in late June and is on a 3 race winning streak, is also right there with similar morning line odds.
My Pick
I’ll take Highland Falls at 5-1. He won this race last year and although not racing that much over the past year he had a solid performance at the Whitney Stakes earlier this month, finishing second to Sierra Leone. If he can improve upon that race and peak at the same time he did last year, then I think he has as good a shot as anyone to win this race. I think Highland Falls has as good a shot to win this race as either Sierra Leone or Mindframe, so at 5-1 I think he’s a good bet.
Play: Highland Falls 5-1
