Breeders’ Cup Challenge Schedule

The Breeder’s Cup Challenge “Win and You’re In” races have expanded to include 73 races spanning 10 countries and ten months of racing this year. As of Oct. 4 there are still 20 races left on the Breeders’ Cup Challenge schedule.

Now in its sixth year, The Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series will be held at many of the world’s top racetracks in the United States, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Argentina, Australia, England, France, and South Africa.

The winner of each of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge races earns an automatic starting berth in the corresponding Breeders’ Cup race.

The 2012 Breeders’ Cup will be held at Santa Anita Park this year on Nov. 2-3.

The Breeders’ Cup pays entry fees and provides travel allowances for the connections of the Challenge winners if they are nominated to the Breeders’ Cup program by October 22nd.

Last year, 35 winners of Breeders’ Cup Challenge races participated in the World Championships, and there were six automatic berths for the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic.
