How Do Horses Qualify for the Breeders Cup?
There is a cap of the maximum number of horses that can start each race in the Breeders Cup. Some races limit this to 12, while most are 14. There are a number of “Win and You’re in “ Breeder’s Cup Challenge races during the season who automatically qualify to race. There is a point system for other horses based on performance during the season. There are pre-entries received two weeks before the race so that everyone knows who got into the races. For those coming from outside of California, there is a travel award for the team. If the horse is from North America they get $10,000 regardless of place. $40,000 is the payout for those coming internationally.
