all in Breeders' Cup

The upcoming weekend in horse racing is highlighted by the $1 million NYRA Bets Haskell Stakes at Monmouth Park, an important race in sorting out the 3-year-old division and also a “Win and You’re In” qualifier for the Nov. 2 Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic.

After a three-week break, the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series resumes Saturday, July 20, with the prestigious $1 million NYRA Bets Haskell Stakes at Monmouth Park.

It’s summer in Southern California, and for horseplayers that means it’s time for Del Mar! The annual Del Mar summer Thoroughbred meet opens on Saturday, July 20, and will usher in California’s most eagerly anticipated season of horse racing.

The 2024 Del Mar summer meet will be conducted mostly on a four-days-a-week basis, Thursdays through Sundays plus Labor Day for eight weeks ending Sunday, Sept. 8.

For horse racing fans, one true indicator of summer is when Del Mar Thoroughbred Club opens its doors for its famed meet. The iconic San Diego-area track is an incredible place to visit whether you’re a lifelong fan of racing or if this will be your first trip to the track.

If you fall into the latter category — or if you’re planning your first trip to Del Mar this summer — scroll down for everything you need to know about this year’s summer season.

The fields for the 14 races that comprise the Breeders’ Cup World Championships really begin to come into focus in summer and fall. This regular feature will offer a snapshot profile of one of the previous weekend’s standout stars, usually a Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Challenge Series winner, and whether I’m buying or selling their chances to win Nov. 1-2 at Del Mar.
