Breeders Cup Traditions
Breeders Cup World Championships is the biggest two-day event in Thoroughbred Horse Racing since 2007.
The Breeders’ Cup started as a one-day event back in 1984 and had grown to a two-day event.
The Breeders’ Cup is like the Super Bowl of NFL Football or the World Series of MLB Baseball (Way to Go Chicago Cubs 2016 World Series Champs).
It’s when all the Grade 1 Great Athletes get together and compete for the Championships.
The Breeders’ Cup operated by the Breeders’ Cup Limited Company and held at a different Race Track each year. Only one time have the races been out of the United States which was in 1996 when it was held at Woodbine Racetrack in Canada.
Churchill Downs set the highest two-day attendance figures in 2010 of 114,353, the lowest two-day attendance was 2007 at Monmouth Park with only 69,584. This year it will be held at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, CA.
Are you gone to be one of the lucky people to attend this year’s Breeders’ Cup?
