A record total of 184 horses–a near 11-percent increase over the 166 from 200ãhave been pre-entered for the 2010 Breeders' Cup World Championships at Churchill Downs Friday and Saturday, November 5 and 6. The individual pre-entries will be announced Wednesday. “Based on the commitments received by our racing department, if the fields hold together as projected, we're looking at perhaps the deepest, most talented group of horses in the history of the event,” said Greg Avioli, Breeders' Cup president and CEO. “With Arc de Triomphe and English Derby champion Workforce (GB) (King's Best), French champion Goldikova (Ire) (Anabaa), and Japanese champion Espoir City (Jpn) (Gold Allure {Jpn}) joining our reigning U.S. champion Zenyatta (Street Cry {Ire}), we have an unprecedented number of the greatest horses in the world competing in this year's Championships.”
