all in Breeders' Cup

Tom Pedulla presents five key takeaways from the $740,000 Stephen Foster Stakes at Churchill Downs, which carried an automatic expense-paid berth in the Longines Breeders' Cup Classic at Keeneland, and other major developments during the holiday weekend:

As assistant trainer Kenny McCarthy noted July 2, Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott knows something about win streaks, having trained dual Horse of the Year Cigar to 16 consecutive victories. Now he's got another classy stakes horse racking up the wins, albeit a mini streak next to Cigar's achievement.

Each week a panel of media members, horseplayers, and Breeders’ Cup World Championships officials release a poll tabulating their votes on the nation's top contenders for the 2022 Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic.

On Saturday, July 2, the first domestic “Win and You’re In” qualifying race for this fall’s $6 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic will be held at Churchill Downs, when the iconic Louisville track runs the 41st Stephen Foster Stakes.

The Road to the 2022 Breeders’ Cup World Championships returns this upcoming Independence Day holiday weekend with two Challenge Series “Win and You’re In” preps on the schedule.
