Saturday was the second and final day of the Breeder’s Cup Championship at Del Mar Race Course.

Thousands of horse racing fans flooded Del Mar to watch 12 races, including Race 8, which cost $7 million.

The Breeder’s Cup is known to showcase classic fashion outfits dating back a hundred years, and also attracts people from all over the world who come with the expectation of winning big.

Kentucky’s Brian Edwards was one of those big winners.

Edwards told ABC 10News that his filly, Thorpedo Anna, who won Race 6 and is expected to win “Horse of the Year,” was his family’s horse.

“This is my niece’s namesake. So we’re all here for her, for all her efforts, and we’re looking for the best in her,” Edwards said.

The Breeder’s Cup Championship is a crucial race on the road to the Kentucky Derby.

Horses from around the world, bred to be champions, competed in “Where the Surf Meets the Turf.”

A group of men were among the many visitors from Ireland to cheer on the Irish horses.

Martin Shanahan was an Irishman watching Irish horses compete in Race 8, the $7 million Breeders’ Cup Classic race.

“This is the best thing that has happened to racing in America and around the world,” Shanahan said.

Unfortunately, Shanahan was unlucky on Saturday, but that’s what the Breeder’s Cup is all about, trying to bet and beat the odds.

Danny Brewer, a horse betting analyst from Tennessee, said: “I recommend you bet long term, just bet across the board. You know what they say: ‘Bet on a horse and get paid,’ that’s the name of this game.

Dan Shapiro came from Las Vegas looking for big business and runs the sports betting app Caesars Sportsbook.

“So the Derby is the biggest day, but the Breeders Cup over the two days is the second biggest event in horse racing for us,” Shapiro said. “It really appeals to the more serious horse racing fans who really want to bet on the races and have a chance to win a lot of money.”
