Owners of horses of racing age currently not nominated to the Breeders’ Cup
program can nominate their runners at discounted rates on or before Wednesday,
July 15, for competition in this year’s Breeders’ Cup World Championships,
October 30-31 at Keeneland Race Course. All horses must be nominated in order to
compete in any of the 13 Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup World Championship races.

The nomination discounts are as follows:

Two-year-olds by a nominated Breeders’ Cup stallion can join the
program for US$12,000; this one-time nomination fee makes the racehorse
eligible for its entire racing career to the Breeders’ Cup.

Three-year olds and up that were foaled in the Northern Hemisphere
and sired by a nominated stallion will receive a 50 percent discount off
normal racehorse nomination fees and three year-olds and older born in the
Southern Hemisphere can nominate for 25 percent of their regular
nomination fee.

All nominated racehorses are eligible for the Breeders’ Cup World
Championships and any other racing program of the Breeders’ Cup for as long
as they race.

Following the July 15 deadline, the price for all non-nominated runners reverts
back to the standard racehorse nomination fee of US$100,000 or more until
October 20, when all runners must be pre-entered for the Breeders’ Cup World
Championships races.

Owners may nominate their horses of racing age online at members.breederscup.com or
by calling the Breeders’ Cup Racing department at (859) 514-9422.

Owners of horses or racing age by non-nominated stallions can also take
advantage of discounted prices before July 15. Two-year-olds by non-nominated
stallions can join the program for US$18,000; Northern Hemisphere three-year-olds
and older for US$100,000 and Southern Hemisphere three-year-olds and older for
US$50,000.
