The second season of the docuseries chronicles the fascinating journeys of racing teams as they try to secure a spot in the $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic
LEXINGTON, Ky. (October 9, 2019) – Breeders’ Cup, one of Thoroughbred horse racing’s most prestigious international events, today debuts the first episode of the second season of ‘ALL IN: The Road to the Classic,’ a six-part sports documentary about the horses, jockeys, trainers and owners striving for their place in the $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic, one of the most competitive and distinguished horse races in the world.
Episode 1 is available now on the Breeders’ Cup YouTube channel and website and will be released later this afternoon on the brand’s Facebook page.
The first episode of Season 2 of ‘ALL IN’ follows the prominent personalities contending in the Whitney Stakes at Saratoga Race Course in New York and the TVG Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park in New Jersey, two “Win and You’re In” races that grant automatic entry into the Breeders’ Cup Classic as part of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series. Among the industry notables making an appearance in Episode 1 are Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert and Red Oak Farm managers Gregg and Rick Sacco, who are gearing up for their respective races. Revealing all the action, drama, triumphs and tribulations that unfold throughout the course of a race day, from the warmups to the starting gate and beyond, the episode transports viewers into the thick of the 2019 horse racing circuit and delves into the sport’s deep-seated role in each character’s personal lives and ambitions.
