For 2024, the Breeders' Cup World Championships return to Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in San Diego County, California. Pre-entries closed on Monday October 21 for all the races. Final entries closed on Monday October 28 when post positions were drawn in the paddock at Del Mar that afternoon. Below are links to the entrants for each race along with lots of other information.
Four Breeders' Cup Champions are back to seek success at the Breeders' Cup: 2023 Juvenile Turf Sprint winner Big Evs runs in the Turf Sprint, Fierceness, winner of the 2023 Juvenile is a top contender for this year's Classic, Idiomatic is back to defend her title in the Distaff, and Rebel's Romance, winner of the 2022 Turf returns.
Breeders' Cup president and CEO Drew Fleming said, “The record number of outstanding international contenders pre-entered this year speaks to the truly global nature of the Breeders' Cup World Championships and is a testament to the connections who have targeted our festival of racing. We express our gratitude to the skilled individuals worldwide who provide the exceptional care that allows these remarkable Thoroughbreds to excel at the highest level. We also thank our hosts at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club for their wonderful hospitality and extend our appreciation to our breeders and nominators, whose dedication helps underwrite the World Championships. We also thank the bettors and fans from around the globe for their unwavering support, and look forward to hosting a Breeders' Cup for the ages at Del Mar.”
