The Jockey Club Gold Cup 2022 will provide horse racing fans with some more Breeders’ Cup clues ahead of Saturday’s $1.25m Grade 1 at Saratoga as the racing summer at the New York track draws to a close. It’s another ‘Win and You’re In’ Breeders’ Cup contest so the successful horse this weekend will also book their ticket to Keeneland on November 5.
We’ve plenty to look forward to as well with a decent field expected to line-up that sees an army from the Todd Pletcher barn that include Americanrevolution and Dynamic One, the exciting Olympiad, who has won 7 of his 11 starts, also holds an entry, plus trainer Shug McGaughey will be hoping for a fifth Jockey Club Gold Cup win with First Captain.
Therefore, the horse racing betting sites can expect plenty of interest in Saturday’s race, which was switched from it’s traditional home Belmont Park to Saratoga last year for the first time.

Jockey Club Gold Cup 2022 Runners and Riders
A strong field of eight runners will head to post for the 2022 Jockey Club Gold Cup this Saturday, Sept 3
1. TAX @ 10-1 with BetOnline
Trainer: Danny Gargan
Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche
Age: 6
Race Record: Runs 15, Wins 5
Fourth in the 2019 Belmont Stakes. Lightly-raced for his age after having a few injuries in the past. Does like it at Saratoga though – won the 2019 Jim Dandy Stakes here and likes to race up with the speed so we can expect more of that on Saturday. Last run was also a winning one when taking the Battery Stakes at Delaware Park on July 9, but only had two to beat that day. Another that would be a shock winner, but won’t be without his supporters for the exacta or trifecta
2. OLYMPIAD @ 2-1 with BetOnline
Trainer: Bill Mott
Jockey: Junior Alvarado
Age: 4
Race Record: Runs 11, Wins 7
The one the main focus will be on ahead of Saturday’s race. A winner of 7 of his 11 starts so a highly talented colt, but does need to bounce back from a poor run last time in the Whitney Stakes on Aug 6, when 4th of five behind Life Is Good. Prior to that flop he’d won four on the bounce and is likely to be ridden closer to the pace this time – something he’s done when winning his races. Trainer Bill Mott has three wins in this race to his name that include the classy Cigar in 1995, plus back-to-back wins in 2012 (Flat Out) and 2013 (Ron The Greek)
3. UNTREATED @ 12-1 with BetOnline
Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Jockey: Jose L Ortiz
Age: 4
Race Record: Runs 9, Wins 3
The final of the Todd Pletcher runners and having only raced 9 times can be expected to have more improvement than most. Has form that is closely linked in with Olympiad, First Captain and Dynamic One, but despite running well again that trio this season has been beaten by them all. Some feel he’s in the race to set things up for the other Pletcher runners, but his form suggests he’s not without a chance of staying in the shake-up till late on and, therefore, exacta or trifecta players might latch onto this.
4. CHESS CHIEF @ 30-1 with BetOnline
Trainer: Dallas Stewart
Jockey: Manuel Franco
Age: 6
Race Record: Runs 34, Wins 5
One of the more experienced in the field with 34 career runs and was fifth in this race last year (beaten 7 lengths), but since 2000 we’ve only had two winning 6 year-olds of this race. Likely outsider that has recorded all five of his wins at Fair Grounds, but was also well behind Olympiad last time in the New Orleans Classic Stakes on March 26.
5. AMERICANREVOULTION @ 3-1 with BetOnline
Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Jockey: Joel Rosario
Age: 4
Race Record: Runs 9, Wins 5
One of four in the race for trainer Todd Pletcher, who won this prize in 2020. This 4 year-old has won more than $1m in winning five of his 9 races to date. Held and entry in the Whitney Stakes at Saratoga earlier this season with this race the preferred target over the longer trip. Certainly no back number but does have a bit of ground to make up with Dynamic One, who he was fourth to in the Blame Stakes on June 22, and also last time when taking silver behind Olympiad in the Grade 2 Stephen Foster Stakes, also at Churchill Downs.
6. FIRST CAPTAIN @ 4-1 with BetOnline
Trainer: Shug McGaughey
Jockey: Luis Saez
Age: 4
Race Record: Runs 8, Wins 5
Top wins to runs record with 5 successes from 8 starts. This well-bred (Curlin) 4 year-old colt was last seen going down in a fight with Dynamic One in the Grade 2 Suburban Stakes at Belmont Park. Been training hard in the Spa since that last run in early July and is the son of the 2007 and 2008 winner of this race – Curlin. Also handled by the Shug McGaughey team that have a fine record in this race with wins in 1985, 1989. 1993 and most recently in 2019 with Code Of Honor. Certainly not one to discount. Jockey Luis Saez is yet to win the Jockey Club Gold Cup.
7. KEEPMEINMIND @ 12-1 with BetOnline
Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Jockey: Javier Castellano
Age: 4
Race Record: Runs 12, Wins 2
Yet another entry for the Todd Pletcher stable and will be ridden by Joel Rosario, who won this race in 2012 (Flat Out) and 2014 (Tonalist). Won on debut for his new yard at Saratoga on July 22 in what was only an allowance race (for horses with just one career success outside restricted races). Last season he was 6th in the 2021 Kentucky Derby and 4th in the Preakness Stakes, plus was only beaten 1/2 a length in the 2021 Jim Dandy Stakes. Bit to prove, but will stay the 1m2f trip will and his return run last time was eye-catching.
8. DYNAMIC ONE @ 7-2 with BetOnline
Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr.
Age: 4
Race Record: Runs 12, Wins 4
Another from the army of possible runners from the Todd Pletcher yard and heads here with a leading chance. Winning of the Blame Stakes at Churchill Downs on June 2 and had Americanrevolution back in fourth that day too. Backed that up with a hard-fought success over another possible entry here – First Captain – when taking the Suburban Stakes by just a nose at Belmont Park on July 9 (Untreated 3rd). Based on those runs is certainly a player despite having to probably improve a tad to figure. Jockey Ortiz Jr does have pedigree in the race though – winning for Pletcher in 2020 on Happy Saver and also back in 2017 (Diversify).
