all in Breeders' Cup

Del Mar, the host track for this year’s Breeders Cup World Championships, was built in 1937 and has a colorful and star-studded history. It was an extremely popular hangout for celebrities in its heyday and continues to be one of the country’s most exciting and glamourous racetracks to this day.

But late at night, after all of the fans have gone home, the revelry doesn’t stop. Some say that’s just when the party gets started at Del Mar … because that’s when the ghosts come out to play.

Saturday’s Bing Crosby Stakes at Del Mar carries some important Breeders’ Cup implications. For starters, the winner gets a guaranteed, free spot in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint. Beyond that, what happens in Saturday’s Grade 1 stakes will be doubly important since the BC Sprint will be contested on Nov.

For the eighth 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 2024 Triple Crown and then continuing through the 2024 Breeders’ Cup World Championships. The handicappers face off in what we like to call the “Big-Race Showdown.”

The $400,000, Grade 1 Bing Crosby Stakes Saturday at Del Mar provides the winner an automatic entry into the Breeders’ Cup Sprint this fall.

Another active week of top-class racing is on the schedule for July 27-28, with one Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series “Win and You’re In” qualifier and several other important races on tap.
