The Breeders’ Cup is the default championships of horse racing, and since 1984 the best thoroughbreds from around the world take a weekend for the biggest purses in the sport.

This year there are 14 races, with five races all for juvenile horses (two-year-olds) on Friday, and nine races for fillies, mares, geldings, and all others three-years-old and up on Saturday.

The biggest race in America outside the Triple Crown is the Breeders’ Cup Classic, a Grade I stakes race with a whopping $6 million added to the purse.

This year’s races will be on November 5th and 6th at the gorgeous Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in San Diego, CA. “Where the turf meets the surf” is one of iconic horse racing venues in the world, and is the perfect host for this event for the second time.
