Discount Deadline Near for BC Horses of Racing Age Noms

Owners of horses of racing age currently not nominated to the Breeders' Cup program can nominate their runners at discounted rates on or before July 15 for competition in this year's Breeders' Cup World Championships Nov. 3-4 at Del Mar. All horses must be nominated in order to compete.

All 2-year-olds by a nominated Breeders' Cup stallion can join the program for $12,000, a one-time fee that makes the racehorse Breeders' Cup-eligible for its entire racing career. 

Northern Hemisphere-foaled horses age 3 or older sired by a nominated stallion will receive a 50% discount off normal nomination fees. Any horses 3 and older born in the Southern Hemisphere can be nominated for 25% of their regular nomination fee. 

All nominated racehorses are eligible for the Breeders' Cup World Championships, and for any other racing program of the Breeders' Cup for their entire racing careers. 

After July 15, the price for all non-nominated runners reverts back to the standard racehorse nomination fee of $100,000 or more until Oct. 23, when all runners must be pre-entered. Owners may nominate their horses of racing age at https://members.breederscup.com.

Owners of horses of racing age by non-nominated stallions can also take advantage of discounted prices before July 15. Any 2-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 $50,000.
