all in Breeders' Cup

The 41st annual Breeders’ Cup World Championships is set for Nov. 1-2 at Del Mar in Southern California. The event – plus the festivities preceding it – promises to be one of the most exciting experiences for fans around the world, whether they attend in person or watch the races across NBC, Peacock, USA Network, and FanDuel TV on Friday and Saturday.

Breeder Jane Lyon’s Summer Wind Farm boasts two high-powered producers, mares whose progeny have left their mark on the sport’s history in their own ways. Littleprincessemma, purchased by Lyon when her Pioneerof the Nile colt was 2, is part of an elite sorority that currently boasts only two members: that Pioneerof the Nile colt, named American Pharoah, won the Triple Crown in 2015.

The 2024 Breeders’ Cup is fast approaching, and fields are beginning to take shape for the 14-race, two-day World Championships set for Nov. 1-2 at Del Mar.

With the Nov. 1 and 2 Breeders’ Cup World Championships coming toward the end of a long and challenging season, success at Del Mar will have everything to do with timing.

Some horses will show the wear and tear of the campaign and be unable to fire their best shot. For others, everything will come together at the precise moment when it is needed most.

The $2 million Grade 1 NetJets Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies is a race that churns out champions. Year after year, almost without exception, the winner goes on to earn champion 2-year-old filly honors at the Eclipse Awards.

In many years, picking the Juvenile Fillies winner is as easy as betting the favorite – they win at a high rate. But sometimes predictability goes out the window and longshots surprise at huge odds, triggering massive payoffs.
