Breeders' Cup to use standard colored saddle cloths

Horseracing Betting Lines

08/11/2009 - Lexington, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - It will become a lot easier for fans to follow the horses during the running of the Breeders' Cup World Championships beginning this year. The organization announced Tuesday that the standard colored saddle cloth or towel system has been installed for the 2009 races.

Until this year purple colored saddle cloths were used for the first 25 editions of the Breeders' Cup. The decision to use the standard colored system was made after consulting with the group's Fan Advisory Council and with horseplayers across North America.

"The colored saddle towel system will allow fans at Santa Anita Park and at simulcast locations around the globe to more easily follow the horses in the Breeders' Cup races," said Breeders' Cup President and CEO Greg Avioli. "We appreciate the input from so many passionate horseplayers on this topic, and believe the new saddle towels will provide a more fan friendly experience for our customers betting on the Championships."

The 14 main colors to be used from the rail out are red, white, blue, yellow, green, black, orange, pink, light blue, purple, gray, lime green, brown and rust.

Santa Anita Park will host the $25.5 million Breeders' Cup for the second year in a row. The 14 races will run on Friday, November 6 and Saturday, November 7.
