The Breeders' Cup, one of Thoroughbred racing's most prestigious international events, launches the third season of Cocktails & Conversation on Thursday, June 9, at 5:15 p.m. ET via Breeders' Cup's Facebook, Twitter and YouTube pages.
Hosted by Britney Eurton and Nick Luck of NBC Sports with renowned mixologist and creator of Breeders' Cup's official cocktails Mark Tubridy, the virtual happy hour series will feature horse racing's leading personalities each week prior to one of the 2022 “Breeders' Cup Challenge Series: Win and You're In – presented by America's Best Racing” televised programs by NBC Sports.
Eurton, Luck and Tubridy will kick off the first episode with Breeders' Cup winning trainer Wayne Catalano ahead of him sending out $2 million Qatar Racing Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) champion Aloha West in the “Win and You're In” Hill 'N' Dale Metropolitan Handicap.
Throughout each show, Tubridy will host a cocktail mixing segment featuring a unique Makers' Mark® bourbon cocktail that guests can make at home. To launch the series, Tubridy will mix a Blackberry Bourbon Palmer featuring Makers' Mark®, lemon juice, black tea syrup, blackberries and soda.
In addition to the cocktail mixing segment, each broadcast will feature conversational interviews with special guests who will offer their insightful perspectives and thoughts on daily life, the latest developments in sports and horse racing, and other everyday topics. Fans will be able to submit questions via social media for hosts and guests to answer during the broadcast for a uniquely interactive experience. Throughout the cocktail hour, viewers will be encouraged to donate to industry workers and communities in need through the official Breeders' Cup website.
The nine-episode season will culminate with an on-site show at the Breeders' Cup in November.
