Automatic berths

Beginning in 2007, the Breeders' Cup developed the Breeders' Cup Challenge, a series of races in each division that allotted automatic qualifying bids to winners of defined races. Each of the fourteen divisions has multiple qualifying races. Note though that one horse may win multiple challenge races, while other challenge winners will not be entered in the Breeders' Cup for a variety of reasons such as injury or travel considerations.

In the Sprint division, runners are limited to 14 and there are up to three automatic berths. The 2022 "Win and You're In" races were:[1]

  1. the
    Del Mar racetrack
    in California
  2. the Vosburgh Stakes, a Grade II race run in October at Belmont Park in New York
  3. the Phoenix Stakes, a Grade II race at Keeneland in Kentucky
