In a short time, the Breeders' Cup has been firmly established as Thoroughbred racing's most prestigious event. Nothing can rival its millions in prize money or its international cast of talent, except for the yearly triple crown races. No other day of racing can match the Breeders' Cup Championship for non stop excitement.
The Breeders' Cup Championship has provided racing with some of its finest moments. Images like these are indelibly etched in its rich chronicles: the great Cigar ending his perfect 1995 season with a thrilling victory in the Breeders' Cup Classic; Personal Ensign courageously inching past Kentucky Derby winner Winning Colors to retire undefeated in 1988; Arazi swooping in from France and stunning all who saw him in the 1991 Breeders' Cup Juvenile.
The Breeders' Cup today, remains the definitive test of champions and has become racing's most recognizable and successful showpiece. The Breeders' Cup Championship has redefined the racing calendar - becoming the season-ending goal for the best horses - and given the sport a championship event much like the World Series or the Super Bowl.
But the Breeders' Cup Championship is known beyond the borders of the particular host track. NBC has televised the event since its inception, providing a degree of air time unprecedented in Thoroughbred racing. The network's coverage has won Eclipse Awards for National Television Achievement and the Outstanding Live Sports Special of 1992 at the 14th EmmyAwards for Sports annual ceremony.
Horses have journeyed from as far away as Japan to compete in the Breeders' Cup Championship. It truly has become the foremost international racing event. "The program was looked at as a revolutionary step when it started, but now it is considered part of the fabric of American racing," says Breeders' Cup president D. G. Van Clief, Jr.
The Breeders' Cup Championship continues to grow in popularity because of its prestige and keen level of competition. Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, holds the records for both attendance and total wagering. The renowned racecourse attracted 80,452 spectators in 1998 and when Breeders' Cup came back to Louisville in 2000, over $108 million was wagered.If you would like to experience the thrill of betting on the Breeder's Cup, Try out Gamblers Palace Racebook

In 2007, three races Dirt Mile, Filly and Mare Turf, and Juvenile Turf were added, all of them run the Friday before the remaining eight races. Three more new races a Turf Sprint, Juvenile Filly Turf and Dirt Marathon were also added for 2008.

2009 Breeders Cup Results

In a debate that is testament to one of the most memorable seasons in Thoroughbred racing history, Horse of the Year voters must decide which of two females was more remarkable in beating the boys.
Zenyatta had the last word as she emerged as the first of her gender to win the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic on Saturday. The 5-year-old mare handled one of the deepest international fields in the 26 runnings of the Classic when her breathtaking late run overtook Gio Ponti by one length before 58,845 jubilant fans. Twice Over failed in his bid to add to Europe's record six winners in 14 Breeders' Cup races. He finished third. Zenyatta paid $7.60, $5.60 and $3.80 as the 5-2 favorite.
