One of the most important weekends in the Thoroughbred racing calendar is just days away, with elite racing scheduled all throughout North America and overseas as well. This is the final big weekend of Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series “Win and You’re In” qualifiers, which offer winners automatic entry in World Championships races Oct. 31-Nov. 1 at Del Mar.

Thoroughbred racing in Kentucky continues to hum along at peak levels in 2025, and with the start of fall, all eyes in the commonwealth turn to Lexington, where Keeneland Race Course begins its month-long meet.  

As fall officially begins, the North American horse racing schedule enters the heart of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series, with multiple preps scheduled over the next two weeks at tracks around the U.S. Five are scheduled for this upcoming weekend, four of them held at Santa Anita Park during that track’s kickoff to its autumn meet.

The upcoming weekend in North American horse racing is highlighted by the final marquee dirt route races restricted to 3-year-olds, both held at Parx Racing on Saturday, Sept. 20.

The Horse Racing Women’s Association (HRWA) is designed to engage, elevate, and invest in the professional and personal development of women in horse racing. Distinguished speaker Molly Fletcher will deliver this year’s keynote address at the Horse Racing Women’s Association 2025 Conference in Lexington, Ky. Oct. 8-9, and one way the HRWA is making the event more accessible is through the Pay It Forward initiative.
