There’s just something special about Del Mar, and if the first two editions of the Breeders’ Cup held at the seaside track offer any indication, the 2024 World Championships should be a magical event.

The Road to the 2024 Breeders’ Cup picks back up this weekend with a total of six “Win and You’re In” preps scheduled at Santa Anita Park and Belmont and the Big A (Aqueduct).
Nestled up on “The Hill” at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky., is a haven of horse racing history, a small stone structure that contains literal multitudes. Inside are photographs, books, magazines, and more, each sharing a line from the story of a sport. This is the Keeneland Library.
High-level Thoroughbred racing continues at tracks across North America this week, with special focus on a huge card Saturday, Sept. 21 at Parx Racing in Bensalem, Pa., highlighted by the Pennsylvania Derby and Cotillion Stakes.
