all in Breeders' Cup

The day racing fans and horseplayers wait for all year for is almost here. The Breeders’ Cup Saturday program will feature the international equine and human stars of horseracing squaring off in nine championship races on Saturday, Nov. 1 at Del Mar. The event will be headlined by the richest horse race in North America, the $7 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic.

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.

Dirt sprints are the bread and butter of U.S. Thoroughbred racing and the $2 million Cygames Breeders’ Cup Sprint is the crowning jewel of the division with the winner taking home the Eclipse Award as champion sprinter in 10 of the last 11 years and 13 of the last 15 seasons.

When the Breeders’ Cup lands in San Diego at Del Mar, it’s not just about the thunder of hooves or the photo finishes. It’s about fashion. Men’s fashion.

You weren’t expecting that were you? Well, I am a men’s fashion consultant.

Del Mar brings its own twist to this classic tradition of horse racing. This isn’t the formality of Ascot or the pomp of Churchill Downs. This is California cool meets racing royalty. It’s the salt air, the sunshine, and the sartorial statement that says: I came to win, and I dress like it.

Following the retirement of reigning Horse of the Year Thorpedo Anna, the 2025 Grade 1 Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff at Del Mar appears wide-open with many viable win contenders.
