Hearty members of Kids to the Cup braved cold, wind and rain to enjoy the group's fourth annual trip to the Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships in Chicago, IL.

The day before the B.C. races KTTC members visited the barns of several Breeders' Cup starters and enjoyed an audience with trainer Bobby Frankel, who went on to saddle two winners on the big day. Of course the group spent quality time at the barn of Paco Gonzalez and met Classic starter Came Home in person. KTTC president and co-owner of Came Home joined the group at the barn.

Other highlights from this year's event included:

KTTC member Jonathan Horowitz as part of an All-Star Announcer roster to call the races during Friday's card.

KTTC member Amelia Baldree who was awarded the initial $1,000 KTTC Edwin Gregson Scholarship sponsored by KTTC director and horse owner William Schwartz of SMD Stable.

No matter the wind, cold or chill factor, KTTC members enjoyed a memorable afternoon watching the world's best horses perform at beautiful Arlington Park.
