The Breeders' Cup Turf is part of one of the biggest horse-racing days in the world. The culmination of the racing season and largely determining the sport's year-end champions, the Breeders' Cup races were first run in 1984 and have since become the biggest day of international racing in the States. National pride is at stake as top thoroughbred horses from all over the world compete in a variety of different classes. Aside from the Turf, the other races are the Juvenile and the Juvenile Fillies, the Sprint, the Mile, the Classic, the Distaff and the Filly & Mare Turf for females aged three and above. Unusually for horse racing, the championship is a mobile event, touring America's top racecourses. |
