2009 Breeders' Cup Races

2009 Breeders' Cup Races

The Breeders' Cup Turf

Distance: 1 1/2 Miles (Turf)

Age: (G1) 3 Year Olds & Up

Sex: Male & Female

Purse: $2 Million

Of the Breeders' Cup races, the Breeders' Cup Turf follows racing conditions akin to the classic standard of European thoroughbred racing: 1 1/2 miles on grass at weight for age. As a result, overseas runners have won a majority of these $2 million races of the Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships.

However, the European contingents have not exactly been dominant. One reason is the racing schedule, set in late October or early November. This is beyond the European calendar, which traditionally culminates for top horses in early October with the running of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Fr-G1). Plus European race horses do not adapt well to warm weather at the Florida or Southern California sites. In fact, American owners and trainers have fielded some outstanding grass runners and defeated top-level European competitors over the years.
