Breeders’ Cup has named four new celebrity ambassadors who will promote and serve as spokepersons for the 2018 Breeders’ Cup World Championships, to be held at Churchill Downs Nov. 2 and 3. The new ambassadors are television host Chris Harrison, NHL defenseman and horse owner Erik R. Johnson, actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler (whose parents are the principals of New York-based Winning Move Stable) and former English footballer and horse owner Michael Owen.

“I am excited to join a fantastic list of individuals as a Breeders’ Cup Ambassador,” said Harrison, who hosts the hit reality TV show The Bachelor and who was a TVG Network host when the racing channel launched in 1999. “I’ve attended Breeders’ Cup, and I really enjoy watching the outstanding showcase of international Thoroughbred racing, as well as the fun and energy at the event. I look forward to supporting the Breeders’ Cup for many years to come.”

Breeders’ Cup President and CEO Craig Fravel added, “We are excited to introduce a new group of ambassadors to the Breeders’ Cup family. From actors to former football players, these new ambassadors diversify our program with their many talents and backgrounds, and their shared passion for Breeders’ Cup and horse racing enriches the fan experience. We look forward to sharing their enthusiasm with fans across the world.”
