Breeders' Cup 2009

The Breeders 'Cup , short for Breeders' Cup World Championships (English breeder. - breeders ), is the most valuable American series of 13 horse races .

It has been hosted by the Breeders' Cup Limited at various racing courses since 1984 , and since 2006 on two consecutive racing days (Friday, Saturday) at the beginning of November. Seven Group I races will be held at the event .

The total payout of approx. 25 million is of a similar order of magnitude as that of the Dubai World Cup Night series, which, however, only takes place on a single day and has an outstanding event with the highest endowed race, the 10 million Dubai World Cup . while at the Breeders Cup the winnings are distributed fairly evenly.
