Breeders’ Cup Arranges Fedex Charters

The Breeders' Cup has made arrangements with FedEx to charter two equine flights that will transport horses to California to compete in the 2021 World Championships Nov. 5-6 at Del Mar. Both FedEx charters will be making direct trips to San Diego International Airport. The first charter flight will leave Newark International Airport Sunday, Oct. 31. The second charter will leave from Indianapolis International Airport Monday, Nov. 1. Each flight will carry up to a maximum of 33 horses.

Breeders' Cup will pay the round-trip cost for all horses competing in the World Championships whose connections use FedEx to ship their runners, whether on the charter planes or on a separately scheduled FedEx flight in lieu of the owner's standard shipping allowance of $10,000. Horsemen shipping Championship runners into California through other shipping companies will still receive the standard stipend.

Tex Sutton Equine Transportation will manage the bookings of these flights, along with the loading and unloading procedures. Horsemen's stable grooms will not be allowed on the flights with these horses, but there will be three Tex Sutton professional grooms attending to the horses on board. Each trainer starting horses in the Breeders' Cup will need to make separate arrangements for their stable workers to fly to California via commercial aircraft. Tex Sutton has also reserved regularly scheduled FedEx aircraft that fly from both locations to Los Angeles International Airport.

Mersant International, the Breeders' Cup official international shipping company, was instrumental in securing the domestic FedEx charters for the World Championships. Breeders' Cup will again be utilizing Mersant International to coordinate and manage the transportation of European-based horses competing this year.

Breeders’ Cup Unveils 2022 Logo World Championships At Keeneland

Breeders' Cup, one of Thoroughbred racing's most prestigious international events, today unveiled its official logo for the 2022 Breeders' Cup World Championships, which will be held on Friday, Nov. 4, and Saturday, Nov. 5, at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky. The 2022 event will mark the third time that Keeneland will host the World Championships, having been a prior host in 2015 and 2020.

To learn more about the 2022 Breeders' Cup World Championships and to sign up for ticket information, fans can visit BreedersCup.com/2022.

The new, elegant logo design includes iconic visual aspects from both the Breeders' Cup and Keeneland brands in honor of the 39th running of the World Championships. Both brands are featured in the center of the circular design with the Breeders' Cup logo atop Keeneland's historic sycamore tree, which greets all racing contenders as they make their walk from the saddling paddock to the walking ring.

“As Keeneland is one of the most famed race courses in the world, we're honored to return there for the third time to host the 2022 World Championships following an unprecedented, but exceptional, Breeders' Cup in 2020 during the pandemic,” said Drew Fleming, President and CEO of Breeders' Cup. “The 2022 logo visually unites both brands and reflects the vibrant and enduring history that is rooted at Keeneland along with the excitement and prestige of the Breeders' Cup.”

The 2022 mark is enhanced by a regal typeface that reflects the Breeders' Cup's position as the pinnacle of global Thoroughbred horse racing. The words “World Championships” encompass the upper half of the logo, while “Keeneland” is branded in gold across the bottom of the logo. The vibrant image features Breeders' Cup's signature purple and gold colors, with Keeneland's traditional green highlighting the tree and grass. A touch of white is used to accentuate the Breeders' Cup logo and the trunk of the Keeneland tree.
