Churchill Downs, the home of the Kentucky Derby, has previously hosted the Breeders’ Cup in 1988, 1991, 1994, 1998, 2000 and 2006 and has been the site of six of the seven largest crowds in Breeders’ Cup history.
“We are delighted to be returning the Breeders’ Cup to Churchill Downs and to our great supporters in Kentucky and throughout the region,” said Breeders’ Cup Chairman William S. Farish, Jr. “Churchill Downs has proven to be an outstanding Breeders’ Cup venue and is extremely popular with our horsemen and fans from around the world. Churchill will also provide an extraordinary site for our expanded two-day program of the Championships. We appreciate the efforts and enthusiasm displayed by Bob Evans and his management team in our agreement to bring the Breeders’ Cup back to Churchill Downs and continue an ongoing partnership that has been of great benefit to the Breeders’ Cup, Churchill Downs and the racing and breeding industry.”
The 2008 Breeders’ Cup will be held on October 24-25 at Santa Anita Park. The first day will feature 5 Breeders’ Cup races on the first-ever all female horse racing card. The second day will have 9 Breeders’ Cup races featuring the Breeders’ Cup Classic where there may be a showdown between last year’s winner and Yorse of the Year, Curlin, and Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Big Brown.
Santa Anita will also host the 2009 Breeders’ Cup.
