A truly international affair became even more international this year when the Breeders’ Cup meeting attracted a record-breaking 80 international pre-entries Oct. 23, 20 more than the previous record.
It’s thrilling when two horses duel down the stretch, especially in a million-dollar race! Last year, the determined Big Invasion finished second in the 16th running of the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint by a “diminishing neck” to Nobals. But that’s not the end of the story!
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 horse racing, all ready to square off in nine championship races on Saturday, Nov. 2 at Del Mar.
The event will be headlined by the richest horse race in North America, the $7 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic.
