THE 2009 Breeders’ Cup race is just about upon us! Comprised of 14 races over two days, the Breeders’ Cup is America’s biggest days of thoroughbred action.

With horses arriving from all over the world and with total purses close to 26 million, there is no wonder that the Breeders’ Cup has become the two biggest days in horse racing in North America.

This year’s races will showcase two of America’s most popular horses, the undefeated Zenyatta and the Belmont and Travers winner, Summer Bird.

Zenyatta’s connections have been quiet on whether or not she will run in the Ladies’ Classic on November 7. Sixth or the Classic on November 7. In whichever race she runs, Zenyatta figures to be a short-priced favourite unless bettors decide to knock down the Travers winner, Summer Bird, to favouritism. A win in the Classic no doubt would give Summer Bird the right to claim the ‘Horse of the Year title’.

Taking on the American’s will be a slew of horses from both Aidan O’Brien’s powerful Irish based barn and the sand dwelling horses that run under Godolphin blue. Can O’Brien and Godolphin upset the American contingent led by Zenyatta and Summer Bird? Or will America prove tough in their signature races?

The Breeders’ Cup is just about upon us and the racebook is ready! Log into the racebook and get down on the Breeders’ Cup, the greatest horse racing day of the year!
