FanDuel Racing Offers $50 Bonus for Breeders' Cup Weekend

FanDuel Racing is offering new users a $50 bonus for bets placed during the Breeders' Cup World Championships.

The promotion runs for two days, covering Friday, October 30, and Saturday, October 31. New bettors receive the $50 racing credit after placing a first wager of at least $10, regardless of whether that initial bet wins or loses.

The bonus applies to any horse race worldwide on the FanDuel Racing app. Users must sign up, make a deposit, and place their qualifying wager to trigger the offer. The company states that it allows up to 72 hours to credit the bonus to the account.

Once credited, the $50 in racing credits expires after seven days. Bettors can use the funds in any configuration, such as a single $50 wager, five $10 wagers, or multiple smaller bets. The first qualifying wager can be placed on any race at any track.

The 2026 Breeders' Cup schedule features 14 Grade I stakes races, the highest level in the sport. The weekend begins on October 30, a day designated for two-year-old horses. This day is known as Future Stars Friday.

Five races are scheduled for October 30 at Keeneland. The card includes the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint, the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, and the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf. Purse amounts range from $1 million to $2 million for these events.

Saturday, October 31, is Championship Day, featuring races for three-year-olds and older horses. The card includes the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint, the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint, the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, and the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf. Additional races on the schedule include the Breeders' Cup Sprint, the Breeders' Cup Mile, the Breeders' Cup Distaff, and the Breeders' Cup Turf.

The Breeders' Cup Classic serves as the final race of the weekend. It is a 1 1/4-mile event for three-year-olds and up, with a guaranteed purse of $7 million. The race is scheduled for 6:16 p.m. ET on Saturday. The Breeders' Cup Turf, held earlier in the day, carries a $5 million purse.

Japan's Forever Young is entered in the Classic as the defending champion. He became the first Japanese-bred horse to win the race last year. Other notable entrants include Golden Tempo, the winner of the 2026 Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes, and Sovereignty, the 2025 winner of both those events.
