2006 Breeders Cup
World Championships

The Breeders' Cup World Championships culminates the racing season and crowns the fleetest sprinters, the most promising two-year-olds, the best turf horses. The right to be called the best of the best belongs, many would argue, to the winner of the day's final and richest race: the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic.

The Breeders Cup is the All Star Game of Thoroughbred racing - only better. Eight times better. It's a multi-million dollar extravaganza that brings together the world's best horses to compete in eight sensational races.

Location:

Churchill Downs is best known as home to “the greatest two minutes in sports”. The Kentucky Derby is the oldest continuous sporting event in the United States, hosting 131 Derbies. The mile and a quarter race for 3-year-old fillies and colts is held annually on the first Saturday in May. 2004 brought major renovations to the grandstand, including the construction of the luxurious Jockey Club Suites, and this year promises more sweeping changes in the shadow of the Twin Spires.
