all in Breeders' Cup

For horse racing fans, one true indicator of summer is when Del Mar Thoroughbred Club opens its doors for its famed meet. The iconic San Diego-area track is an incredible place to visit whether you’re a lifelong fan of racing or if this will be your first trip to the track.

If you fall into the latter category — or if you’re planning your first trip to Del Mar this summer — scroll down for everything you need to know about this year’s summer season.

Last weekend, there were several stakes-rich racecards across North America, most prominently at Churchill Downs on June 27. Results from those six stakes under the Twin Spires brought significant changes to earnings leaderboards in several divisions, as tabulated by Equibase.

The primary focus of this series typically is: can this racehorse win at the Breeders’ Cup World Championships? With Stephen Foster Stakes winner Magnitude, that question, in my opinion has been answered emphatically “yes” in his two most recent starts.

Magnitude scored in front-running fashion to win the Grade 1 $2 million Stephen Foster Stakes June 27 at Churchill Downs.

For the 10th year in a row, America’s Best Racing is challenging some of the brightest minds in horse betting to come up with their top three picks for key races every weekend leading up to the 2026 Triple Crown and then continuing through the 2026 Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Keeneland. The handicappers face off in what we like to call the “Big-Race Showdown.”
