Irish Champions Weekend culminates in a spectacular Sunday at the Curragh, with two Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” races among a quartet of Group 1s.

Just 12 years after Yeats won the Gold Cup (G1) for a record fourth time, Stradivarius is in position to emulate that historic achievement at Royal Ascot Thursday. At the opposite end of the distance spectrum, the Norfolk S. (G2) serves as a “Win and You’re In” for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (G2)

In a dramatic drive to the finish line that saw four runners cross the wire a neck apart, Vow and Declare snatched a thrilling victory in the Nov. 5 Melbourne Cup.
