Breeders’ Cup Sprint History

As one of the most competitive and unpredictable races run during the Breeders’ Cup, it comes as no surprise that the Breeders’ Cup Sprint has never been won by the same horse twice.

Since the race was first run in 1984, jockey Corey Nakatani has built an impressive record in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint, having ridden four winners. Foreign horses tend not to fare well in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint, with the majority of wins going to American thoroughbreds.
