| Breeders' Cup 2011 returns to Louisville |  | It's official. The Breeders' Cup is returning to Churchill Downs in 2011 for what will be a record eighth year.
Racing's two-day World Championships also are in Louisville this year, Nov. 4-5.
After years of moving the event around amid a loose rotation of Churchill Downs, Belmont Park in New York and either Santa Anita or Hollywood Park in California, the Breeders' Cup broke precedence and held the races in 2007 and 2008 at Santa Anita - the first time it had been held in one place consecutive years.
"I am thrilled that Kentucky's iconic Churchill Downs, home of the legendary Kentucky Derby, has been selected to host the 2011 Breeders' Cup World Championships," Gov. Steve Beshear said in a press release."The prospect of consecutive years at Churchill Downs combined with Kentucky's strong business climate and legislative incentives are sure to make the event a tremendous success for the Breeders' Cup, greater Louisville and the state," said Breeders' Cup chairman Bill Farish in the release. "Churchill Downs continues to be one of the world's greatest racing facilities and is extremely popular with our horsemen and fans." | | |
