2009 Breeders' Cup Pre-Entries

Pre-entries for the 2009 Breeders’ Cup World Championships were announced on Wednesday, with 166 horses entered in the 14 races, which will be contested at Santa Anita on Nov. 6-7.

Among the horses entered this year are nine of the 14 Breeders’ Cup winners from last year: Goldikova, Maram, Midshipman, Muhannak, Conduit, Desert Code, Forever Together, Ventura, and Zenyatta.

In addition, Red Rocks, who won the 2006 Turf, is entered again this year.

The connections of 37 horses elected to enter their horses in more than one race, bringing the total amount of entries to 203.

Among those entered in two races is the undefeated Zenyatta, who was entered by trainer John Shirreffs in the Ladies’ Classic on Friday, a race she won last year, and the Classic on Saturday, where she would take on males for the first time in her career.

There will be a strong European presence again, with 33 horses shipping in from overseas for this year’s two-day event.

Godolphin Stable leads all owners with 15 runners pre-entered, including Midshipman, Music Note, Gayego, Delegator, and Girolamo.

Final entries will close on Tuesday Nov. 2 at 10am.
