Breeders' Cup Challenge Expands To 49 Races, New Markets
The Breeders' Cup Challenge will be expanded from 24 races to a minimum of 49 races at 12 North American racing venues in '08. New markets and tracks for '08 include Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto; Emerald Downs in Auburn, Washington; Suffolk Downs in Boston; Delaware Park in Wilmington; Calder Race Course near Miami; and Monmouth Park in Oceanport, New Jersey. The '08 Challenge will begin on July 5 at Monmouth Park, and races will be televised in more than 120 countries on ABC, ESPN, TVG and HRTV.
