California Chrome and Found For Breeders’ Cup Double
By Rick Elliott
California Chrome is officially the best horse in the world and can confirm that status by winning the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita racecourse on Saturday night. Found is arguably the best female horse in the sport but has been withdrawn from the Classic due to concerns about running on dirt. The Aidan O’Brien filly will now contest the Turf race at the meeting known as the world championships of racing.
The Breeders’ Cup was first staged over one day in 1984. Since 2007 it has been a two-day meeting and since inception has always been held in the United States except in 1996 when the meeting took place at Woodbine in Canada. Santa Anita stages the Breeders’ cup for a record ninth time this year. The meeting comprises of 13 Grade 1 races and the total prize fund is $28 million. Several races are now defunct including a chase which is now in effect the US Grand National.
Each race has a maximum of 14 runners except the Dirt Mile which is restricted to two fewer starters. There is an established selection procedure based on performance in the recognised trials, a points system and the discretion of a panel of racing experts. The thinking behind the concept is to create an annual world championship of Flat racing and despite the emergence of other lucrative races and meetings that is still an accurate title for the 13 races, on grass and dirt over varying distances.
