Those seeking the thrill of seeing the American Thoroughbred Zenyatta and the Irish Champion Goldikova on one day may purchase tickets online for the races the twosome will enter November 6, 2010 at Churchill Downs, Louisville, Kentucky, in the 27th renewal of the Breeders' Cup World Championships.
