Breeders’ Cup announced Wednesday the return of ‘ALL IN: The Road to The Classic,’ the brand’s original digital docu-series that first debuted in 2018. The show’s six-part sophomore season, premiering Oct. 9 at 2:00 PM ET, will showcase the journeys of the world-class trainers, owners, breeders and horses competing for a starting spot in the $6-million GI Breeders’ Cup Classic, which will be contested Nov. 2 at Santa Anita Park. The new episodes will be distributed across an expanded portfolio of digital media platforms and broadcast channels across three global territories including the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

“The public response to the first season of ‘ALL IN’ exceeded our every expectation,” said Craig Fravel, President and CEO of Breeders’ Cup. “Our fans were excited to go behind-the-scenes and learn more about their favorite horses, trainers and owners and see what it really takes to have a horse good enough to compete at the highest level in the Breeders’ Cup Classic. We’re thrilled to bring the series back for another season and to be adding new distribution partners to ensure that audiences across the world can enjoy the show and its incredible stories.”

‘ALL IN’ episodes will premiere on the Breeders’ Cup digital channels (YouTube, Facebook and BreedersCup.com) and will subsequently air on NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) and TVG Network in the United States, The Sports Network (TSN) in Canada and Sky Sports Racing in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Behind the production, celebrity chef and horse racing aficionado Bobby Flay will return as executive producer, along with his Rock Shrimp Productions co-founder Kim Martin and executive producer Shelley Schulze.
