The Breeders' Cup announced Thursday that 40 individuals are on the ballot for the election of 20 Breeders' Cup Members. On June 6, the Breeders' Cup Election website will open for the 2017 Breeders' Cup foal and stallion nominators to begin the voting process. Of the 40 candidates on the ballot, 17 are incumbent Members standing for re-election. The 20 individuals receiving the most votes will each serve a term of four years.
Members are elected every other year by Breeders' Cup foal and stallion nominators through a proportional voting system based on the level of nominations paid to the organization. There are a total of 39 elected Breeders' Cup Members. The Members meet each July for the election of individuals to the Breeders' Cup Board of Directors, which oversees the activities of the organization.
