About Page Detail Banner

Forty years ago the visionary John Gaines hatched a plan. His idea was to create a year-end culminating championship for horse racing. An event where horses from across the world could meet to settle the age-old question, "Who’s the best?" An event that celebrated the best of the sport, put it on a national platform, and helped to build the market for racing and breeding.

His vision? The Breeders’ Cup World Championships.
