Earlier this year there were concerns about how the coronavirus pandemic would affect the 37th running of the Breeders’ Cup World Championships, specifically whether the interest level would be as high among horsemen, especially those from overseas.
Those concerns were cast aside today when Breeders’ Cup unveiled the lists of pre-entered horses for the 14 championship races to be run at Keeneland in Lexington, Ky., on Nov. 6-7. The 201 horses pre-entered represents the second highest number ever and the 38 international horses pre-entered is second only to the 41 pre-entered in 2018 when the Breeders’ Cup was at Churchill Downs.
Paulick Report publisher Ray Paulick reviews the pre-entries, race schedules and long-range weather forecast in today’s Breeders’ Cup News Minute.
