Join us in New York in October 2027 for a fantastic Breeders’ Cup tour at the new Belmont Park, with our Racing Ambassador, Rishi Persad, joining us for the trip. Our Wednesday to Monday package combines five nights at NH Collection New York Madison Avenue with return direct flights from the UK or Ireland, two days of outstanding international racing, welcome drinks and a group evening meal with Rishi. Working alongside our colleagues at Venatour USA, we can also arrange a brilliant choice of optional experiences so you can make the most of your time in New York.
We’re delighted to have Rishi with us for one of the biggest occasions in the racing calendar. His knowledge of the Breeders’ Cup and stories from his broadcasting career make him great company, and Thursday’s dinner promises to be a real highlight. Enjoy an evening of good food and racing chat with Rishi as we discuss the leading contenders and look ahead to two fantastic days at Belmont Park.
The meeting returns to Belmont Park for the first time since 2005, following a spectacular $555 million redevelopment. With a brand new five storey grandstand, modern hospitality facilities and expanded outdoor spaces, there’s plenty to be excited about. Whether you’ve visited before or are making your first trip, this is a fantastic opportunity to experience the new Belmont Park.
Our base for five nights is NH Collection New York Madison Avenue in Manhattan, giving you time to enjoy the city alongside the racing. After arriving on Wednesday, settle into the hotel before joining us for a welcome drink that evening. Thursday is yours to explore before our dinner with Rishi, whether you fancy sightseeing, shopping or finding somewhere for lunch.
Friday takes us to Belmont Park for Future Stars Friday, showcasing some of the most exciting young horses from America, Europe and beyond. We return on Saturday for the championship races, including the Mile, Turf and Breeders’ Cup Classic. Admission and return racecourse transfers are included on both days, so you can enjoy the racing with the group from start to finish.
For those looking to make their racedays even more special, Belmont Park offers restaurants overlooking the finish line, indoor lounges and private suites. Enjoy the racing alongside dining, drinks and excellent views, with our team on hand to discuss the hospitality upgrades and arrange the experience that suits you.
Sunday is a full free day to make the most of New York. Spend it enjoying American sport, exploring the shops or visiting the sights you’ve always wanted to see. We’re working closely with our colleagues at Venatour USA, who can secure tickets for NFL American football, NBA basketball and NHL ice hockey during your stay, subject to suitable fixtures. It’s a fantastic chance to experience another major sporting occasion while you’re in the city.
There are plenty of optional sightseeing experiences too. See the skyline from the water on a full boat tour around Manhattan, visit the Empire State Building or take in the views from Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center. You might also fancy an evening on Broadway, a walk through Central Park or an afternoon shopping along Fifth Avenue. Let us know what you’d like to do and we’ll take care of the arrangements.
We’ll begin our journey home on Monday, but your trip doesn’t have to end there. If you’d like extra nights in New York, an Austin Grand Prix extension or time in another destination, speak to our team about putting together a package around your plans.
We’d love you to join us and Rishi in New York for the 2027 Breeders’ Cup. Complete the enquiry form below with your preferred room type, departure airport and any hospitality upgrades or optional experiences you’re interested in, and our racing team will be in touch to arrange your trip.
