Record 141 horses pre-entered for Breeders' Cup World Championships

With the addition of three new races and a second day, a record 141 horses have been pre-entered for the 2007 Breeders' Cup World Championships.

Breeders' Cup Ltd. on Wednesday morning announced the pre-entries for the 11 World Championships races on October 26-27 at Monmouth Park. The previous record was 135 pre-entered horses for the 2000 Breeders’ Cup at Churchill Downs.

The three new races—the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf, Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint, and Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile—drew 46 pre-entries combined. Last year, the World Championships lured 121 pre-entries for eight races, and while this year’s total marks a record, the average of 12.82 horses per race is actually the lowest since 1988 when 87 horses were pre-entered for seven races.

The Juvenile Turf, Filly and Mare Sprint, and Dirt Mile will be contested on October 26, with the eight Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup races to follow on October 27, topped by a deep edition of the $5-million Breeders’ Cup Classic Powered by Dodge that is likely to pit Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) winner Street Sense against Preakness Stakes (G1) winner Curlin with Grade 1 winners Any Given Saturday, Hard Spun, Lawyer Ron, and Tiago in the mix as well.

Those six Grade 1 winners are most of the field, as only nine horses were pre-entered for the Classic, and two of those—George Washington (Ire) for the NetJets Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1) and Diamond Stripes for the Dirt Mile—were cross-entered in other races. The Classic attracted its shortest field in 1989 when only six other horses faced off against Derby-Preakness winner Sunday Silence and Belmont Stakes (G1) winner Easy Goer (eight horses also started in the 1984 and ’85 editions of the race).

Pre entries, listed alphabetically, for the Breeders' Cup World Championship races follow with owner, trainer, and breeder.
