Breeders Cup Classic
The Breeders' Cup Classic is a Grade 1 Weight for Age thoroughbred horse race for 3 years old and older run at a distance of 11/4 miles (2012 m) on dirt. It is held annually at a different racetrack in the United States or Canada as part of the Breeders' Cup. The 2006 race was held at Churchill Downs.
The Breeders' Cup Classic (Grade 1) is no doubt the most important race in the Breeders' Cup thoroughbred racing championships. It is the kingmaker, considered to crown the best of the best, having produced nine Horses of the Year in its first 20 runnings. Of the $14 million total purse for the eight Breeders' Cup races, the Classic accounts for $4 million, with a winner's share of more than $2 million.
American horseracing's classic distance is 1 1/4 miles on dirt, and in these races, the Breeders' Cup Classic has offered some of the most memorable, spine-tingling competitions the world of thoroughbred racing has seen. It is extremely competitive, with eight of the races decided by less than one length.
The Classic's only two runaway victories quickly come to mind: Volponi's 6 1/2-length upset in 2002 at Arlington Park and Skip Trial's 6-length triumph in 1997 at Hollywood Park. That year's eventual champion, older contender Skip Away, won in 1:59.16, the fastest time ever for the Classic's 1 1/4 miles.
