As part of the agreement, Sentient Jet and Breeders' Cup will collaborate to develop media and entertainment programs designed to support the World Championships on a local and national level. Sentient will conduct hospitality events at the Breeders' Cup and throughout the year at various Breeders' Cup-related venues.

"We are very pleased to be the official private aviation partner of the Breeders' Cup and honored to support such an exciting and historic event that attracts the best horses, trainers, and owners from across the globe," Sentient Jet president Andrew Collins said.

Breeders' Cup and Sentient also will develop a special promotion designated for participating owners who will be entering horses in the Juvenile.
