Buy Breeders Cup Race Tickets

Enjoy the two-day horse racing spectacular by purchasing your Breeders Cup tickets! The Breeders Cup World Championships was envisioned by John Gaines, who wanted to create a year-end culmination championship for horse racing. Gaines wanted to have an event where the greatest Thoroughbreds from all over the world could compete against each other. The event is held at different race tracks each year including famed facilities like Keeneland, Del Mar and Churchilll Downs.

It began as a one-day, seven-race event and quickly expanded into a two-day, 14-race celebration of horse racing. The Cup attracts competition from all over the world, kicking off the races with Future Stars Friday, which is comprised of five races that features the brightest rising stars of horse racing. Championship Saturday follows and is one of the richest days in horse racing. It awards over $22 million in purse money across nine different races.
