Breeders' Cup

The Breeders 'Cup, short for Breeders' Cup World Championships (English breeder - Breeders ), is the most lucrative American series of about 15 horse race. He is aligned since 1984 by the Breeders' Cup Limited at various race tracks, since 2006 on two consecutive racing days (Friday, Saturday ) in early November. The total payout of about 25 million moves in a similar magnitude as the Dubai World Cup Night Series, but which only takes place in a single day and with the highest prize money race, the 10 million Dubai World Cup has become a major event, while the Breeders Cup win that is fairly evenly distributed.
