just incredible." Zenyatta became the first and still the only female horse to win the Classic. 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 Classic division, runners are limited to 14 and there are up to eight automatic berths. The 2022 "Win and You're In" races were: The February Stakes, a Grade 1 race run in February at Tokyo Racecourse in Japan The Stephen Foster Handicap, a Grade 2 race run in June at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky The Haskell Invitational, a Grade 1 race run in July at Monmouth Park in New Jersey The Whitney Handicap, a Grade 1 race run in August at Saratoga Race Course in upstate New York The International Stakes, a Group One race run in August at York Racecourse in England The Pacific Classic, a Grade 1 race run in September at Del Mar Racetrack in San Diego, California The Awesome Again Stakes, a Grade 1 race run in October at Santa Anita Park in California The Jockey Club Gold Cup, a Grade 1 race run in September at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York Records Most wins: 2 – Tiznow (2000, 2001) Stakes record: The fastest time recorded in the Breeders Cup Classic belongs to Ghostzapper, who set the mark of 1:59:02 under Javier Castellano in 2004 at Lone Star Park. Because the Breeders' Cup Classic is run at different racetracks each year, some of which are faster than others, there is no official stakes record. Note though that Authentic's revised time of 1:59.60 set a record at Keeneland, Ghostzapper's time of 1:59.02 set a track record at Lone Star Park and Alphabet Soup's time of 2:01.0 set a track record on Woodbine's old dirt track.
