A variety of seating and hospitality options for the 2026 Breeders' Cup World Championships were unveiled March 10 on BreedersCup.com as Thoroughbred racing's iconic international festival returns Oct. 30-31 to Keeneland Race Course.

Landing a daily double on the last two races of the Breeders' Cup World Championships and earning $607,800 with his win, Dave Smyth, 50, a financial planner from Lexington, won a record-setting edition of the 2025 Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge. 

Under the agreement, Brown Advisory becomes the name-in-title partner of the $1 million Brown Advisory Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G1T), which will be held Oct. 30 at this year's World Championships.
