No less than 14 Group 1s are set to take place at the 2026 Breeders' Cup.
North America's flagship meeting returns to Keeneland for the first the first time since 2022, with top-class equine talent from all around the world flocking to the Kentucky-based track.
For many, a return to Keeneland will evoke memories of Flightline, who finished his career a perfect six from six in the Breeders' Cup Classic at the track four years ago.
Now, a whole crop of new talent will be bidding to seal their place in history over the weekend.
Aidan O'Brien takes over a team of nine -- 10 before the scratching of Man's Best Friend -- bidding to extend his record as the winning-most trainer in Breeders' Cup history.
Keeneland going report
The going on the Turf track is being described as GOOD, with a stick reading of 7.6.
Reports from the track so far suggest that the turf isn't riding quite as it can at a Breeders' Cup; potentially playing into the hands of the European challenge. No further rain is being forecast across the weekend.
