My Breeders’ Cup Friday started with a bit of a surprise: after waking up every morning well before the crack of dawn, I decided to let myself sleep in a bit. Silly me: I forgot that I had a photographers’ meeting in the winner’s circle at 8:30 a.m. Thankfully, my internal alarm roused me at about 7 a.m. and after a fortuitous e-mail moment I got myself together and to the track in plenty of time.

The Breeders’ Cup World Championships are on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 in Arcadia, California at Santa Anita Park, and for those two days the Los Angeles suburb becomes the epicenter of the global Thoroughbred industry.

If you’re planning on attending, we have a taste of Arcadia sure to please any palate on any budget!

I’ve taken some of the best looks from autumn runways and made them raceday ready, and whether you’re into courture or scour your computer for the best deals, there’s a way to make these trends into racetrack classics for the Super Bowl of horse racing at the Breeders’ Cup World Championships.
