Carson Kressley, fashion expert and television personality, has announced that tickets for this year’s Breeders’ Cup are officially on sale. Kressley shared the news via Instagram, where he invited fans to join him at the prestigious horse racing event at Del Mar Racetrack in California.
“As a @breederscup ambassador I wanted to be sure everyone knows tickets for this year’s meet are on sale today! Come join us in @delmarracing – where the surf meets the turf!” Kressley wrote in his post.
The Breeders’ Cup Returns To Del Mar
The Breeders’ Cup is one of the most prestigious events in horse racing, featuring championship races that attract top thoroughbreds from around the world. This year’s event returns to Del Mar Racetrack, famously known for its slogan “where the surf meets the turf” due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean in Southern California.
As an official ambassador for the Breeders’ Cup, Kressley’s role involves promoting the event and encouraging attendance. His announcement serves as an important reminder for racing enthusiasts to secure their tickets early for what is typically a sold-out event.
Kressley’s Equestrian Background
Kressley is no stranger to the equestrian world. Beyond his fame as one of the original members of the “Fab Five” on the television show “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,” he has a lifelong passion for horses. He began as a child riding and showing horses and has won multiple world championships in equestrian events. This background makes him a natural fit as an ambassador for one of horse racing’s premier events.
His recent Instagram activity further highlights his equestrian interests. Just days before the Breeders’ Cup announcement, Kressley posted about spending time in the English countryside with an American Saddlebred horse at Monnington Farm, writing: “Springtime in the English Countryside with an American Saddlebred. Thank you @monningtonfarm!”
Beyond The Racetrack
When not focusing on equestrian pursuits, Kressley maintains a busy career in entertainment. Kressley has remained a fixture in entertainment since his breakthrough on “Queer Eye” in 2003. His career has spanned television hosting, acting, design, and authoring several books. He has served as a judge on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and appeared on shows including “Dancing with the Stars” and “Celebrity Big Brother.”
The Breeders’ Cup Experience
The Breeders’ Cup World Championships typically spans two days and features 14 races with purses and awards totaling more than $31 million. Beyond the racing action, the event is known for its fashion, celebrity sightings, and social atmosphere.
Del Mar Racetrack, with its Spanish colonial architecture and Pacific Ocean backdrop, has been a racing destination since 1937 when it was opened by a partnership that included Hollywood legend Bing Crosby. The track has hosted the Breeders’ Cup on multiple occasions.
Kressley’s announcement comes as he’s been enjoying travels between the United Kingdom and Mexico, with recent posts showing him in Tulum at the Secret Tulum Resort. He’s also been busy with television appearances, including a stint on Good Morning America for the Cherry Blossom Festival.
For horse racing enthusiasts and those who enjoy the social aspects of premier sporting events, Kressley’s reminder to purchase tickets serves as both information and an invitation to experience the excitement of the Breeders’ Cup at one of America’s most picturesque racetracks.
