In advance of the major Thoroughbred auctions scheduled in January and February of next year, the Breeders' Cup today announced that it has extended the late nomination deadline for all 2020 North American foals to Feb. 28, 2021.

This late foal nomination will be the last opportunity for horsemen to nominate weanlings of 2020 to the Breeders' Cup program at a fee of $1,500 USD.

The $1,500 nomination entitles each foal with lifetime racing eligibility to the Breeders' Cup World Championships and the Breeders' Cup racing programs. All foals sired by a fully-nominated North American Breeders' Cup stallion are eligible for nomination to the Breeders' Cup program in their year of birth and now up to Feb. 28 of their yearling year.

“We want to provide buyers and sellers the Breeders' Cup Advantage for yearlings, either sold or purchased in January and February, to become fully-nominated individuals to the Breeders' Cup program,” said Dora Delgado, Breeders' Cup Executive Vice President and Chief Racing Officer.

Nomination fees for 2020 foals not nominated to the Breeders' Cup program by Feb. 28 will be increased to $12,000 USD for an individual sired by a Breeders' Cup-nominated stallion and to $18,000 USD for an individual sired by a non-nominated stallion before July 15 through the racehorse nomination program.

Breeders' Cup Limited has been Thoroughbred racing's most significant national and international program for over 37 years. During this time, the organization has allocated purses and awards in excess of $860 million to owners, foal nominators and stallion nominators through the programs of the Breeders' Cup including the annual $31 million Breeders' Cup World Championships.

In addition to the racing benefits, in 2021, Breeders' Cup foal nominators are also eligible for special bonuses. Foal nominators will receive $10,000 USD for every victory in a Breeders' Cup Challenge “Win and You're In” race. Moreover, foal nominator awards are available on every Breeders' Cup World Championships race for every starter. The individual nominating the foal receives these nominator awards even though the horse may change hands throughout its racing career.

The Breeders' Cup, one of Thoroughbred racing's most prestigious international events, today announces a new partnership with Guardian Security, Kentucky's premier security company dedicated to providing around-the-clock security services, to enhance equine safety and security measures for the 2020 Breeders' Cup World Championships. The new agreement reaffirms Breeders' Cup's ongoing commitment to ensuring the highest level of equine safety and integrity standards.

Under the new partnership, Guardian Security will provide 24-hour equine surveillance in the days leading up to, during and following the upcoming World Championships, set to be held at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky. on Nov. 6-7. During this time, over 100 dedicated security officers will be deployed to support the Breeders' Cup Equine Security Team with daily operations by monitoring the activity in the barns, keeping daily logbooks of who enters a stall and bolstering overall stable and racetrack security, to ensure the enforcement of the most comprehensive and exceptional safety and integrity protocols onsite. The combined expertise of the investigative professionals that comprise Breeders' Cup Equine Security Team, the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission Investigator team and Guardian Security will provide a safe and level playing field for all participants.

“Protecting the welfare of our horses has always been an utmost priority,” said Dora Delgado, Breeders' Cup Executive Vice President and Chief Racing Officer. “We firmly believe in the continued enhancement and enforcement of the security standards in Thoroughbred racing, and we hope to set the new benchmark in equine care through our partnership with Guardian Security.”

“Our goal at Guardian Security is simple – to provide world-class safety and security measures that guarantee the most seamless and high-quality horse racing experiences,” said Jeff Blanton, Chief Operating Officer of Guardian Security. “Breeders' Cup has long been known for its exemplary equine welfare protocols, and we're honored to be working with them to build upon this strong foundation and create the safest and fairest World Championships yet.”

The partnership follows a series of recent efforts to bolster equine safety standards for Breeders' Cup races and events. In March 2020, the Breeders' Cup Board committed to adopting new rules aimed at establishing higher safety and veterinarian evaluation protocols during horse races, as well as continuing to follow globally established practices such as pre-and-post-race testing, comprehensive prohibitions on anabolic steroids and other controlled substances, frequent veterinarian exams and race surface testing. Breeders' Cup is also a founding member of the Thoroughbred Safety Coalition, an organization that aims to maintain the safety of both equine and human athletes, and augment existing protections through unified industry efforts to develop new reforms.
