LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 15, 2024) – Breeders’ Cup Limited today announced the 2024 Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series: Win and You’re In schedule of 82 races in 12 countries. Each winner will receive an automatic qualifying position, with fees paid, into a corresponding race at the 2024 Breeders’ Cup World Championships.

The Kentucky Derby was first held in 1875 and ranks as the longest continuously held major sporting event in the United States.

Tom Pedulla offers five takeaways from the $1.25 million Apple Blossom Handicap at Oaklawn Park, the $600,000 Jenny Wiley Stakes at Keeneland Race Course, and the $400,000

There should be no mention of the mighty Triple Crown champion Secretariat without pointing to jockey Ron Turcotte as an integral member of a dynamite team.

It might appear from watching replays of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes in 1973 as if Turcotte was merely a passenger taken for a wonderful ride by the gleaming colt they called “Big Red.” But Penny Chenery, Secretariat’s owner, knew better.

Thanks to a gate-to-wire victory in the $365,500 Grade 3 Stonestreet Lexington Stakes at Keeneland Race Course on April 13, Godolphin homebred Encino climbed 10 spots on the Kentucky Derby
