Breeders' Cup Winner Stats

Midnight Lute
Midnight Lute
is the latest repeat winner, taking the Breeders' Cup Sprint in 2007 and 2008.
Updated: 09/11/09

The dual Breeders' Cup race winners list is very short, although with 14 races now it may grow more quickly than in the past.

There are quite a few more with one win and one or more near misses. Here is a list of the horses with a win and a 4th place or better finish to go with it. I didn't note the years these occurred in, but if you are interested, you can get the full list of multiple year Breeders' Cup starters here.

Surprisingly there have not been many winners who go on to have winning offspring, only 11 stallions and 3 mares. There are two families that Breeders' Cup winners seem to run in with Unbridled starting a three generation win streak as a sire and Personal Ensign starting another three generation streak as a broodmare. Below is a list of the winners and their winning offspring. You can view the full list of sires of Breeders' Cup winners here.
