The Breeders' Cup World Championships has become
recognized as the ultimate test of a Thoroughbred's talent and ability. Not only offering a platform to enhance and promote
Thoroughbred racing, the Breeders' Cup races provide a powerful year-end championship and a grand spectacle that presents
the sport to a worldwide audience. Through the enthusiastic participation of prominent horsemen from around the world who
bring their top horses to compete, the Breeders' Cup has established a reputation for showcasing Thoroughbred racing at
the highest level of international competition.

About the Breeders Cup World Championships |
Announced in April of 1982 by leading Thoroughbred
owner and breeder John R. Gaines, the Breeders' Cup has served as a positive step toward not only promoting racing, but
uniting the industry itself. Breeders' Cup Limited enjoyed immediate and widespread support from the industry through
annual nomination payments for stallions and one-time nomination payments for those stallions' offspring. Since the inaugural running at Hollywood Park 25 years ago, the Breeders'
Cup has established itself as the season-ending championship of Thoroughbred racing. It is now firmly entrenched in American
racing lore with a history and tradition all its own. The Breeders' Cup World Championships has also served as a deciding
factor in Eclipse Award voting. The Eclipse Awards, which honor Horse of the Year and other champions in the sport, are voted
on annually by representatives of Daily Racing Form, the National Turf Writers Association and the National Thoroughbred Racing
Association. In 2006, we witnessed every Eclipse Award winner (including Steeplechase Champion McDynamo) participate in the
Breeders' Cup, something not ever achieved previously. With each Breeders' Cup race worth $500,000 and up to $5,000,000,
the day has been a magnet for the most outstanding equine competitors in the world. American champions such as Azeri, A.P.
Indy, Alysheba, Cigar, Personal Ensign, Ferdinand, Sunday Silence, and countless others have demonstrated greatness at Breeders'
Cup. European-based horses have also come and conquered
on American soil. In 1984, Alain de Royer-Dupre saddled the Aga Khan's Lashkari to win the first Breeders' Cup Turf.
The late Francois Boutin brought over the great mare Miesque in 1987; she was the heroine of the Mile that year and she returned
the next year to win again, making her the first multiple Breeders' Cup race winner. France-based trainer Andre Fabre
has had a talented contingent over the years with four winners from 39 starters but Arcangues will be remembered as his standout
performer. In 1993, Arcangues stunned the world with his win in the Classic, paying $269.20, which still stands as the highest
payoff in Breeders' Cup history. More recently, Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien has brought his top runners from Ireland
and England and Raven's Pass took the Breeders' Cup Classic in 2008. Each year the Breeders' Cup World Championships
is held at a different racetrack in North America on a rotating basis. In 2009, the Breeders' Cup World Championships
returns for a second-straight year to California where it all began in 1984. For the fourth time, the Oak Tree meeting at
Santa Anita will host and the expansion of the two-day event (November 6th and 7th) with 14 total races worth $25.5 million.
