all in Breeders' Cup

Since running his first horse in a Breeders’ Cup race in 1998, Aidan O’Brien has won 18 Breeders’ Cup races, second only to Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas’ 20 wins. His Breeders’ Cup horses have earned more than $33.8 million, trailing only the stable tally of Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, another 18-time winner with more than $40.3 million.

The Breeders’ Cup Sprint is as American as apple pie, hot-dog eating contests, and fireworks. Sprint races on a dirt main track make up the foundation of U.S. racing and this country excels in the discipline.

It’s also usually a damn good race with 12 of the last 25 editions decided by less than a length.

Year in and year out, the $2 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff plays a major role in shaping the championship race for at least one division and often two. A scintillating performance in the marquee U.S. dirt race for females can catapult a racehorse to an Eclipse Award as champion older dirt female of champion 3-year-old filly … and for the 41st renewal Nov.

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 2024 Breeders’ Cup. The action kicks off on Future Stars Friday, Nov.

Handicapping the $2 million, Grade 1 Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff isn’t an easy task. The 1 1/8-mile race for fillies and mares annually draws a deep field, packed with proven Grade 1 winners.
