Where Can I Bet the Breeders Cup Classic – I Live in Connecticut

Bookmaker is one of a handful of reputable online racebooks where you will be able to bet this year’s Breeders Cup Classic from the state of Connecticut.

None of the US-based websites accept bets on the Breeders Cup from Connecticut due to regulatory restrictions.  Rest assured, international websites the likes of Bookmaker.eu have been around twice as long as the US-based sites like Xpressbet and TwinSpires, having been established in 1986.  They also do not require you to provide a social security number.

Hundreds of thousands of bets on Saturday’s race will be placed with the few dozen offshore racebooks that do accept customers from these states, which are otherwise prohibited by Xpressbet and TwinSpires:

Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands.

The Breeders Cup tends to rank among the top four most wagered on horse races in North America along with the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes (depending on whether a Triple Crown is at stake).
