The Breeders’ Cup World Championships will have a new look at first-time host Monmouth Park this year–an expanded two-day event that will inaugurate three $1-million stakes designed to accommodate owners and breeders.

Select purse increases pushed the total value of the 2006 World Championships to $20 million for eight races. In 2007, there will be $23 million offered for 11 races under a plan approved Jan. 5 by the Breeders’ Cup board of directors.

The new races are the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile for 3-year-olds and up, the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint for fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up, and the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf, a one-mile event open to 2-year-old males and females.

At Monmouth, the Dirt Mile will be run at a mile and 70 yards and the Filly & Mare Sprint at six furlongs. In future years, the distances will be one mile and seven furlongs, respectively
