The schedule includes races for native (born in Puerto Rico) and imported (born outside of Puerto Rico) horses, divided between claiming races, races for non-claiming horses, "allowances" and "Stakes Races".

The annual horse race schedule includes over a fifty stakes races, representing more than $24 millions in prizes for horse owners.

Among the most important events are the TRIPLE CROWN - three year-old native horses - which is held on the same dates as the Trple Crown in the United States. The "Serie Hípica del Caribe" is composed of five international races, among others the Copa Confraternidad and the Clásico del Caribe, with the participation of horses born in countries members of the Confederación Hípica del Caribe such as Panamá, Venezuela, Trinidad & Tobago, México, Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Puerto Rico, being the permanent host for these events. The latter event has been broadcasted through ESPN and its stations on a yearly basis, given its popularity through out the racing industry. Together, with other news reporters from Central, South and Latin America, ESPN takes coverage of this breathtakingly emotional event through out the United States, the Caribbean and all Latin America.
 


The "Serie Hípica del Caribe" has been so successful in the past years that the "Confederación Hípica del Caribe" and the horse racing authorities in Puerto Rico, together with tourism and economic government authorities in Puerto Rico, are working on expanding the number of races held in order to develop a Latin version of the "Breeder's Cup".
