The Breeders' Cup, one of Thoroughbred racing's most prestigious international events, announced today the launch of “Breeders' Cup En Vivo,” an all-Spanish digital series covering three upcoming Breeders' Cup Challenge Series: Win and You're In races. Each broadcast will take place from locations representing the three regional divisions established this year for the Challenge Series. “Breeders' Cup En Vivo” will launch with the Ballerina Stakes (G1) on Sunday, Aug. 28 at Saratoga Race Course for the East Division.
The Breeders' Cup “En Vivo” team, established in 2021, will return this year with co-hosts Claudia Spadaro, Darwin Vizcaya, Emanuel Aguilar, Roberto Rodriguez and Annise Montplaisir – who also produces the show. Each broadcast will air live on Breeders' Cup's Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube Channels.
Winners of Breeders' Cup Challenge Series races earn automatic starting positions and fees paid into a corresponding race of the Breeders' Cup World Championships, which will be held on Nov. 4-5 at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky.
The 2022 “Breeders' Cup En Vivo” Schedule includes:
Aug. 28: Ballerina (G1), Saratoga, East Division – Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint (G1)

Sept. 10: FanDuel Turf Sprint, Kentucky Downs, Midwest Division – Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (G1)
“'Breeders' Cup En Vivo' is a great way to connect with and cater to Spanish-speaking racing fans, and we look forward to building on the success of last year's productions,” said Breeders' Cup Chief Marketing Officer Justin McDonald. “The Breeders' Cup is a truly international event and we're pleased to share these Challenge Series races with passionate Spanish-speaking fans from around the globe.”
“The 'Breeders' Cup En Vivo' team was proud of the quality shows we delivered in Spanish last season, with in-depth analysis, interviews with special guests and live racing narrated in Spanish,” said “En Vivo” co-host and producer Annise Montplaisir. “We are thrilled to continue serving Spanish-speaking audiences by once again providing coverage of the Challenge Series races. There is an exceptionally strong appetite from the Hispanic community for Spanish language horseracing content – especially around big races featured in the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series – and the support and engagement from our fans has both awed and energized us.”
The first episode will air Sunday, Aug. 28, at 4:45 p.m. ET and will be available on Breeders' Cup's Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube Channels.
