The Breeders' Cup Turf is a Weight for Age Thoroughbred horse race on turf for three-year-olds and up. It is held annually at a different racetrack in the United States or Canada as part of the Breeders' Cup. The race's current title sponsor is Emirates Airlines.
The forerunner for this race was the Washington, D.C. International Stakes at Laurel Park Racecourse. Inaugurated in 1952, it was raced on turf at 1½ miles and drew the best horses from North America and Europe. A winner of this race was the American legend Kelso, albeit on his forth attempt, after being second three times in a row.
