LEXINGTON, Ky. – Tickets are now on sale for the 2021 Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Del Mar racetrack, the iconic Southern California racing venue.

Fans can purchase tickets online at BreedersCup.com/Tickets or by calling the ticketing office at (859) 514-9428.

“We are elated to welcome fans back in full force as we return to southern California’s beautiful oceanside racing venue, Del Mar racetrack,” said Breeders’ Cup President and CEO Drew Fleming. “Breeders’ Cup and Del Mar Thoroughbred Club have worked in close collaboration over the course of the past year to ensure our fans and participants receive a safe, best-in-class experience that showcases exceptional Thoroughbred racing.”
Historic Del Mar racetrack is located just 20 miles north of San Diego, where “the turf meets the surf.” In addition to elite international racing, attendees will enjoy Del Mar’s scenic seaside city backdrop coupled with the vibrant nightlife of nearby San Diego.
