About the Breeders Cup
Over 40 years ago a man named John Gaines had a plan, to create an end of season championship for horse racing. The result, The Breeders Cup, an event that attracts horses from all over the world to come together to complete and find out "who is the best?".
Today it is two of the richest days in sports, with $34m paid out in prize money and awards across the entire weekend!
The event is held at a number of different racetracks in the USA, most recently at Del Mar in 2024, where it will return again in 2025!
Our Trip in 2024
Our trip in 2024 was one to remember! We kicked off our time in California by heading to Del Mar on Thursday morning for a marquee breakfast at the course where we caught up with Frankie and a number of the British trainers that had bough their horses across to the USA.
On Thursday evening we held our exclusive Celebrity Drinks Evening and were joined again by Frankie, as well as Rishi Persad and Matt Chapman. An evening full of great conversation, some hilarious stories and even a few winning tips!
Friday & Saturday at Del Mar were simply incredible with a handful of winners for the UK & Ire and Frankie also scoring a winner on the day of the Breeders Cup!

Reviews
"Having just returned from the Breeders Cup, I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking of going on the 2025 trip with Racing Breaks. The whole experience was seamless, air travel and transfers from the airport and to the racing at Del Mar on both days were organised for us, we had lunch on both days at the Turf Club which offered superb views and food. We were all given the opportunity to meet Frankie Dettori on the night before racing who gave us his views and tips on American racing, which proved to be a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
A special mention for Tom, Aaron, Dave and Bash, for looking after our every needs, thank you, we will definitely be returning next year!"
