By Sarah Brookbank

On Friday and Saturday Lexington will be privy to one of the biggest events in horse racing.

The Breeders’ Cup is heralded as “the super bowl of horse racing,” and will be held for the first time in the horse capital of the world.

Over the course of two days, there will be 14 races featuring over 100 horses. The $26 million races will provide great betting, great racing and a beautiful setting at Keeneland.

John Asher, Vice President of Racing Communications at Churchill, has been watching the Breeders’ Cup at his home track.
