Breeders’ Cup Press Release
LEXINGTON, Ky. ― The Breeders’ Cup issued a reminder today that Sunday, Oct. 15 at 11:59 p.m. ET is the last opportunity for horsemen to nominate weanlings of 2023 to the Breeders’ Cup program at the one-time regular nomination fee of $400 USD.
The $400 nomination entitles each foal with lifetime eligibility to the Breeders’ Cup World Championships and the Breeders’ Cup racing programs. All foals sired by a fully nominated North American Breeders’ Cup stallion are eligible for nomination to the Breeders’ Cup program in their year of birth at the weanling rate.
Breeders’ Cup Limited has been Thoroughbred racing’s most significant international program for over 40 years. During this time, Breeders’ Cup has allocated purses and awards in excess of $900 million to owners, foal nominators, and stallion nominators through the programs of the Breeders’ Cup including the annual $31 million Breeders’ Cup World Championships.
In addition to the racing benefits, Breeders’ Cup foal nominators will earn $10,000 USD for every victory in the worldwide Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series: Win and You’re In program and every horse that starts in a Breeders’ Cup World Championship race will earn a nominator award. The individual nominating the foal receives these nominator awards even though the horse may change hands throughout its racing career.
