BREEDERS’ CUP RACES
The event moves to various racetracks throughout the United States, similar to the Super Bowl of the NFL. Santa Anita has hosted a record 11 times, but Churchill Downs Race Track, Belmont Park, and Gulfstream Park have all hosted the Breeders multiple times, and tracks like Arlington Park, Lone Star Park, and Woodbine have hosted as well, Keeneland Race Course hosted the event twice before. This year would mark the third time that the Breeders will be hosted at Keeneland Racecourse, the cradle of the breeding industry, where the idea of the Breeders’ was conceived.
Every year, the sport of horse racing comes to a fitting finale with the Breeders’ Races. This year-end championship features fourteen all-star horse races cumulatively worth $27 million in purses, showcasing the world’s best in thoroughbred horse racing. Unrivaled in its millions in prize money and its international cast of talent, the prestigious BC races offer nonstop action in horse racing betting and handicapping.
In 2020 at Keeneland, a very difficult but necessary decision was made to proceed without fans. But in 2021 the tournament was eager to welcome fans back to the Horse Racing World Championships in accordance with state and local health and safety guidelines.
