Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Autumn ushers in monumental weekends of horse racing around the globe and this one -- set between the Arc weekend and the Breeders' Cup -- was no exception.

Calandagan won the British Champion Stakes after Group 1 upsets at 200-1 and 100-1 earlier in the day at Ascot. Hong Kong's Ka Ying Rising made short work of Australia's finest sprinters in the world's richest turf race and Embroidery won the final leg of Japan's Filly Triple Crown.

Yes, all in one smashing weekend of horse racing around the globe.

And Wednesday, we find out who's coming to the Breeders' Cup party at Del Mar. The deadline for pre-entries is Monday.
