In 2011, the organization appointed Craig R. Fravel as CEO and President, a role he will be leaving after the [[2019 Breeders' Cup|2019 event]] to head the racing operations of the [[Stronach Group]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Fravel to Leave Breeders' Cup for Stronach Group |url=https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/235788/fravel-to-leave-breeders-cup-for-stronach-group |website=BloodHorse.com |access-date=13 September 2019 }}</ref> Also in 2011, the [[Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint|Juvenile Sprint]] was added, only to be dropped after the 2012 running.<ref name=DRF>{{cite news|url=http://www.drf.com/news/breeders-cup-will-not-expand-lasix-ban-drops-juvenile-sprint |title=Breeders' Cup will not expand Lasix ban, drops Juvenile Sprint |newspaper=Daily Racing Form |date=March 1, 2013 |access-date=October 24, 2013}}</ref> Organizers had originally planned to ban raceday use of the anti-bleeding medication furosemide (Lasix) for more consistency with European standards, but reversed the decision due to concerns from horsemen and many handicappers.<ref name=DRF/>

From 2008 to 2014, the Breeders' Cup was held at either Churchill Downs or Santa Anita Park, both major tracks with a demonstrated record of success in hosting the event. In 2015 however, [[Keeneland]] was selected as the host track for the first time, in large part because of [[Lexington, Kentucky|Lexington]]'s position as the center of the North American thoroughbred breeding industry.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.keeneland.com/racing/breeders-cup-2015|website=keeneland.com|title=Breeders' Cup 2015|access-date=May 26, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160501130541/http://www.keeneland.com/racing/breeders-cup-2015|archive-date=May 1, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> Although concerns were raised over Keeneland's limited amount of permanent seating,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.paulickreport.com/news/ray-s-paddock/despite-differences-breeders-cup-at-keeneland-will-shine/|title=Despite differences, Breeders' Cup at Keeneland will shine|author=Paulick, Ray|date=June 24, 2014|access-date=May 26, 2014}}</ref> the 2015 event was considered a success, with record Friday attendance and a sell-out on Saturday.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.courier-journal.com/story/sports/horses/breeders/2015/10/31/breeders-cup-2015--record-keeneland-crowds-attend-friday-saturday/74973446/|title=Breeders' Cup 2015 – Record Keeneland Crowds|author=Lintner, Jonathan|date=November 2, 2015|work=courier-journal.com|access-date=May 26, 2016 }}</ref>

2015 marked the first time a Triple Crown had been won since the inception of the Breeders' Cup, and thus the first opportunity to win the so-called [[Grand Slam of Thoroughbred racing]], consisting of the Triple Crown and Breeders' Cup Classic. [[American Pharoah]] completed the feat in a decisive wire to wire victory.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2015/10/31/watch-american-pharoah-win-horse-racings-first-ever-grand-slam-at-breeders-cup/|title=Watch American Pharoah win horse racing's first ever grand slam|newspaper=Washington Post|author=Bieler, Des|date=October 31, 2015|access-date=May 26, 2016 }}</ref>

The 2019 event at [[Santa Anita Park]] ended in the death of a popular horse, Mongolian Groom, in the [[Breeders' Cup Classic]]. Mongolian Groom suffered a broken lower cannon bone as well as an upper portion of pastern during the race and was euthanized. The accident came after 37 other deaths at [[Santa Anita Park]] in less than a year.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/236834/mongolian-groom-euthanized-after-bc-classic-breakdown |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191103041907/https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/236834/mongolian-groom-euthanized-after-bc-classic-breakdown |archive-date=November 3, 2019 |title=Mongolian Groom Euthanized After BC Classic Breakdown - BloodHorse}}</ref>
