The Breeders' Cup Challenge is a series of races associated with a particular division of the Breeder' Cup World Championship Races where the winner is guaranteed a spot in the field for that race. It started in 2007 with 23 races and has expanded to 60 races for 2009, which is after three of the races were dropped when they were taken off the turf due to weather. Without a win in one of these races, a horse is subject to the regular field selection rules where points earned in graded races are considered as well as the discretion of the Racing Directors/Secretaries Panel.
All the races are now finished and the winners are listed below with links to race coverage and a profile for the winner.
