Every year, the Breeders’ Cup attracts a strong contingent of international raiders to challenge North America’s best horses in a series of lucrative World Championships races. Among the 14 Breeders’ Cup races, none attract a stronger international presence on a year-to-year basis than the $4 million, Grade 1 Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf.
One of the most anticipated events for horse racing fans and bettors is right around the corner, as the countdown is on for the Breeders’ Cup World Championships set for Friday, Nov. 3, and Saturday, Nov. 4, at Santa Anita Park.
Hall of Famer Javier Castellano looks to cap a magical season when he rides Arcangelo in the $6 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic on Saturday at Santa Anita Park.
As is a common theme at the Breeders’ Cup World Championships every year, we again see a strong international presence at this year’s races with 59 international runners among the 205 pre-entries released last week.
