Future Breeders' Cup Host Tracks To Be Formally Unveiled

Breeders' Cup sites for the next three years will be unveiled today in a "series of orchestrated news announcements at each of the three tracks." Santa Anita, host of the '19 event, "will make its announcement in the morning," while '20 host Keeneland and '21 host Del Mar will make their announcements in "mid-afternoon." Breeders’ Cup President & CEO Craig Fravel "will be at Santa Anita and Del Mar." This year's event is at Churchill Downs in November (LATIMES.com, 8/16).

A second Breeders' Cup at Del Mar "became an attractive proposition with the success of the event last November." Horsemen and fans "raved about an experience that was unlike any other in the previous 33 years of the Breeders' Cup" and which led to "betting in record amounts" (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 8/16).
