Owners of horses of racing age currently not nominated to the Breeders' Cup

program can nominate their runners at discounted rates on or before Wednesday,

July 15, for competition in this year's Breeders' Cup World Championships,

October 30-31 at Keeneland Race Course. 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 US$12,000; this 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 percent discount off

    normal racehorse nomination fees and three year-olds and older born in the

    Southern Hemisphere can nominate for 25 percent of their regular

    nomination fee.

     

  • All nominated racehorses are eligible for the Breeders' Cup 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 US$100,000 or more until

    October 20, when all runners must be pre-entered for the Breeders' Cup 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 US$18,000; Northern Hemisphere three-year-olds

    and older for US$100,000 and Southern Hemisphere three-year-olds and older for
