Notes
Breeders' Cup Classic - Powered by Dodge is due to be held on Monday, 25th October 2008 at a distance of ten furlongs on the dirt track of Santa Anita Park Racetrack. This grade I stake is open to thoroughbred horses with age three-year-olds and up. The Breeders’ Cup Classic is regarded as one of the premier thoroughbred horse racing events in the United States’ racing circuit. In many occasions, the winner has been honored the title of the ‘United States Horse of the Year’. High-breed horses across the country come to take part in this prestigious event — people wait yearlong to feast the fun and excitement. The game is too competitive to predict; even the underdogs can snatch the winning title — victory of Arcangues in 1993 will tell you the story! This racing event was inaugurated in 1984 to promote thoroughbred horseracing and to unite the industry itself. Every year, the Breeders’ Cup World Championship takes place in various racetracks in North America on a rotation basis. Last year, it was in Monmouth Park while the race is due to be held at Santa Anita Park racetrack this year.
