Cygames renews Breeders' Cup sponsorship for third year

Cygames, Inc. has renewed its partnership with Breeders' Cup Limited for the third consecutive year to sponsor the Cygames Breeders' Cup Sprint. The race is scheduled for October 31, 2026, at the Keeneland Racetrack in Lexington, Kentucky.

The sprint is a 1,200-meter dirt race for thoroughbred horses aged three and up, featuring a purse of $2 million. As part of the sponsorship, the Cygames logo will be displayed on the starting gates and saddle towels.

Additionally, the event will feature a life-size figure from the game ‘Umamusume: Pretty Derby’. The figure is based on the character representing Forever Young, the winner of the previous year’s Longines Breeders' Cup Classic. The 2026 Breeders' Cup World Championships will take place on October 30 and 31, with total prize values exceeding $34 million.
