all in Breeders' Cup

The Breeders’ Cup World Championships is the biggest event in global horse racing: if the Triple Crown is the equine equivalent of the Super Bowl, then the Breeders’ Cup is like the equine Olympic Games, but held every year. There are Thoroughbred races for all different age groups, distances, and surfaces with racehorses, jockeys, trainers, owners, and breeders all celabrated with a year-end championship event.

With the 2025 U.S. Triple Crown season completed, the focus of the horse racing world shifts from Saratoga Race Course to across the pond for one of the most prestigious events on the annual calendar. The five-day Royal Ascot meet begins Tuesday, June 17, at gorgeous Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, England.

Every year, the road to the Breeders’ Cup World Championships starts months before with a series of qualifying races that are known as the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series.

Tom Pedulla offers takeaways from the 157th Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets and other major races that were part of the five-day Belmont Stakes Racing Festival that concluded Sunday at Saratoga Race Course.
