Chef Curtis Stone At The 2024 Breeders’ Cup World Championship
The world’s most prestigious and luxurious sporting event, the 2024 Breeders’ Cup World Championship will take place in Del Mar, California on Nov. 1 and Nov. 2, 2024.
Del Mar Racetrack
The Breeders’ Cup World Championships is an action-packed, two-day, 14-race, year-end culmination showcasing the fastest horses, favorite jockeys, trainers, and owners from across the globe. There will be $34 million dollars paid out in purses and awards over the entire weekend.
Unlike other iconic races, the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes, the Breeders’ Cup is a collection of races. Each race determines a World Champion in a specific class.
It all starts with ‘Future Stars Friday’, where the sport’s star Juvenile (two-year-old) sprinters seek to win the $1 million dollar purse.

On Saturday, the Breeders’ Cup will crown nine more World Champions across different divisions, including the season-defining $7 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic. Known as ‘Where The Turf Meets The Surf’, the Del Mar racetrack is one of the crown jewels in San Diego. Not only does the venue offer ideal weather in November and gorgeous Pacific coastline views, it also hosts an array of exciting events.
