With the end of horse racing season in sight, that means it's time for one of the biggest races of the year – the Breeders' Cup.
A two-day event, the Breeders' Cup takes place in early November, rotating through four different tracks between California and Kentucky. This year, the World Championships returns to Del Mar for two consecutive seasons.
The race begins with Future Stars Friday with five races before Saturday's competition where nine horses are crowned, including the ultimate Breeders' Cup Classic, which has a purse of $7 million.
Only one competitor has won the Classic twice, and that'll stay the same this year with a new champion on the horizon.
To see who it is and catch all the action, here's how to get the best prices on tickets for the Breeders' Cup, the ultimate horse race.
