The Breeders’ Cup serves as the de facto championships of American horse racing in the United States. Since 1984 the best thoroughbreds from around the world gather for one weekend at the same track for 14 races, all Grade I stakes with different distances, surfaces, and genders.
There are 14 total races, with five races all for juvenile horses (two-year-olds) on Friday, and nine races for fillies, mares, geldings, and all others three-years-old and up on Saturday.
The biggest race in America outside of the Triple Crown is the Breeders’ Cup Classic, a Grade I stakes race with a whopping $6 million added to the purse. It’s always placed in prime time, and will be the seventh race of nine on Saturday.
This year’s races will be on November 3 & 4 at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California just east of Pasadena.
