all in Breeders' Cup

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.

The weekend racing fans wait for all year long is almost here as the top horses in the country and many from around the world will travel to Del Mar for the 2025 Breeders’ Cup World Championships. The action kicks off on Friday, Oct.

The $7 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic is North American Thoroughbred racing’s championship event. Often, the results of the Longines Classic are the determining factor in which racehorse is honored as Horse of the Year at the Eclipse Awards. In the 41 prior years of the Breeders’ Cup, 16 Classic winners have been voted Horse of the Year months later, including three in the past five years. 

The maroon and white silks of Winchell Thoroughbreds are a familiar sight on racing’s biggest days.
