Breeders' Cup Limited and several of the nation's premier racetracks will feature a set of officially sanctioned Breeders' Cup qualifying races once again in 2009. The Breeders' Cup Challenge series is highlighted by its 'Win and You're In' provision, with the winner of each of the Challenge races automatically qualifying for the corresponding divisional race in the two-day, fourteen-race, $25.5 million Breeders' Cup World Championships, to be held November 6 and 7 at Oak Tree at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California.
