Description:
Owners of horses of racing age currently not nominated to the Breeders' Cup program can nominate at discounted rates on or before July 15 for this year's Breeders' Cup World Championships, Oct. 30-31 at Keeneland.
All horses must be nominated in order to compete in any of the 13 grade 1 Breeders' Cup World Championship races. The nomination discounts are as follows:
—Two-year-olds by a nominated Breeders' Cup stallion can join the program for $12,000; the one-time nomination fee makes the racehorse eligible for its entire racing career to the Breeders' Cup.
—Three-year olds and up that were foaled in the Northern Hemisphere and sired by a nominated stallion will receive a 50% discount off normal racehorse nomination fees and 3-year-olds and older born in the Southern Hemisphere can nominate for 25% of their regular nomination fee.
—All nominated racehorses are eligible for the World Championships and any other racing program of the Breeders' Cup for as long as they race.
Following the July 15 deadline, the price for all non-nominated runners reverts back to the standard racehorse nomination fee of $100,000 or more until Oct. 20, when all runners must be pre-entered for the World Championships races. Owners may nominate their horses of racing age online at members.breederscup.com or by calling the Breeders' Cup racing department at 859-514-9422.
Owners of horses or racing age by non-nominated stallions can also take advantage of discounted prices before July 15. Two-year-olds by non-nominated stallions can join the program for $18,000, Northern Hemisphere 3-year-olds and older for $100,000, and Southern Hemisphere 3-year-olds and older for US$50,000.
