The Breeders’ Cup World Championships is the biggest event in global horse racing: if the Triple Crown is the equine equivalent of the Super Bowl, then the Breeders’ Cup is like the equine Olympic Games, but held every year. There are Thoroughbred races for all different age groups, distances, and surfaces with racehorses, jockeys, trainers, owners, and breeders all celabrated with a year-end championship event.

The $2 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff has been a part of the World Championships since the inaugural edition in 1984 at Hollywood Park, and the list of winners is one of the most impressive for any U.S. Thoroughbred race.
