The Breeders' Cup Sprint is an American Weight for Age Grade I Thoroughbred horse race for horses three years old and older.
Run on dirt Corrected grade for Santa Anita sprintover a distance of 6 Furlongs (3⁄4 mile), the race has been held annually since 1984 at a different racetrack in the United States or Canada as part of the Breeders' Cup World Championships.
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.
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.
