Read on to learn about the Breeders' Cup Challenge and to view the 2015 schedule!
How the Breeders' Cup Challenge Works
Simply put, the Breeders' Cup Challenge is a series of Grade I stakes races held throughout the year that trainers and owners can enter their horses in. Winning one of these races instantaniously grants the horse entry into the Breeders' Cup championship race that pairs up with the particular Challenge series race.
In addition to automatic entry, the Breeders' Cup Challenge winners have their entry and starting fees waived. In addition, if the horse is coming in from a state outside the host state (Kentucky), they will receive travel stipends.
The Breeders' Cup Challenge Schedule
The "Win and You're In" series is upping the ante this year and has added eight additional Challenge series races to the schedule.
Now, the following stakes races have been added to the schedule: the Gran Premio Criadores at Palermo in Argentina, the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood in England, the Sword Dancer and Spinaway Stakes at Saratoga, the Fleur de Lis Handicap at Churchill Downs, the T. Von Zastow Stutenpreis at Baden Baden in Germany, and the Princess Rooney and Smile Sprint Handicap at Gulfstream Park.
