About This Experience
The Breeders' Cup World Championships presents no fewer than 14 Grade 1 races and, since 2007, has been run over two days, making it one of racing’s biggest betting spectacles, second only to the triple crown. The programme culminates in the Breeders' Cup Classic, widely viewed as the fourth leg of the Grand Slam of Thoroughbred Racing. The Turf offers a £3.1 million purse, while the Distaff is open to fillies and mares aged three and older. The Juvenile is for two year olds, runs 1 1⁄8 miles rather than a mile, and helps spotlight future stars whose performances can shape year-end awards. The event draws a sophisticated international crowd and is a significant fixture in the luxury sporting calendar.
Renowned for its high-stakes drama, rotating host place, and more than $34 million in total purse money, it attracts top contenders from multiple continents and stands as one of the calendar's definitive horse racing spectacles. Its venue changes year by year, with Santa Anita Park a leading California host, Keeneland first hosting in 2015, and the championships held outside the U.S. only once, in 1996.
This experience is perfectly suited for those wishing to pair the thrill of world-class horse racing with a luxury itinerary in the host city.
