Wild Again's inaugural Classic thriller was among the top 20 moments as Breeders' Cup Limited released the top vote-getters from its 40th running campaign fan poll, an opportunity for fans to choose their favorites from 40 pre-selected moments in Breeders' Cup history. The 40th running campaign–a multi-month celebration that will culminate in the Breeders' Cup World Championships Nov. 3-4 at Santa Anita Park–kicked off June 6 with the poll. Fans chose their top three moments from the 40 presented, spanning from the first running at Hollywood Park to last year's edition at Keeneland.

Each Wednesday, the Breeders' Cup, in cooperation with FanDuel TV, will release videos online and on social media platforms as several of racing's most prominent participants and Breeders' Cup ambassadors relive the top 20 moments.

The countdown continues to the top three moments, which will be unveiled during the first week of November as the World Championships loom.
