​The event is held at a number of different racetracks in the USA, most recently at Del Mar in 2024 & 2025. In 2026 it will return to Keeneland Racecourse in Lexington, Kentucky. The track has recently undergone a multimillion dollar renovation ready for it to host the event for the first time since 2022.

"We had a truly memorable experience with Racing Breaks at Del Mar. From the initial pick up at the airport to the first class hotel in La Jolla, the track morning, the Breeders Cup preview with Frankie, Oisin and Matt Chapman, the anticipation grew. The two racedays were excellent and the Racing Breaks team organised everything expertly. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Racing Breaks for your Breeders Cup experience."

"Hi, despite a horrendous start, courtesy of British Airways, I had a fantastic time with the Racing Breaks lads, Aaron, Dave, Tom & Basher (& Lily)..nothing is too much trouble with these lovely folk...I've been to numerous trips with R.B. and every one has been a brilliant experience. I have no hesitation in recommending a trip with this firm...they look after you...big style. Keith Laidler."
