Electric, bursting at the seams, remarkable, and fast and furious are just a sprinkling of the vivid descriptions for Fasig-Tipton’s November Sale printed over the years in the pages of BloodHorse magazine. 

Billed decades ago as the “Night of the Stars” sale in the afterglow of the Breeders’ Cup World Championships, the November sale has morphed into much more than a Thoroughbred breeding stock auction. It is an event. Come for the “stars,” savor the fireworks.

Perfect weather? Check. (It is Southern California, after all). Eye-catching fashion? Check. Sensational athletes? Check. Lifetime memories made? Double check.

Breeders’ Cup World Championships week has arrived, and media coverage of horse racing will reach a crescendo surpassed only by Kentucky Derby week and occasionally the lead-in weeks to the Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes. The 42nd annual Breeders’ Cup, set for Friday, Oct. 31, and Saturday, Nov. 1, will draw a good amount of national and international attention and in terms of quality racing, the two-day event is unmatched.

This month, America’s Best Racing teamed up with Griffin Johnson and Breeders’ Cup for an Instagram sweepstakes giving one lucky entrant the ultimate Breeders’ Cup getaway. Meet Tory Erwin, who won the contest and will be heading to Del Mar to enjoy a weekend of world-class racing and a meet-and-greet with Griffin himself.

Activity in the horse racing world is ramping up this week in advance of the 42nd Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Del Mar on Oct. 31-Nov. 1. Pre-entries for the Breeders’ Cup will be drawn Wednesday, Oct. 22, at noon ET/9 a.m.
