ARCADIA, Calif. — Prostate cancer couldn't keep Dennis Hopper away from the Breeders' Cup.
The 73-year-old actor and artist attended the Breeders' Cup in support of The V Foundation for Cancer Research, the official charity of the year-ending thoroughbred championships Saturday at Santa Anita Park in Southern California.
It was revealed last month that the actor and artist had been diagnosed with cancer, although Hopper said Saturday he's been battling it for nine years.
He's started a new, experimental treatment at the University of Southern California that he says "has great promise." Hopper says "Everything's good right now."
The Oscar-nominated star of "Easy Rider" and "Hoosiers" is one of racing's biggest and best-known fans.

The chance of the destruction of our planet is very very small with this collider, but who are these people to decide what risks are acceptable for all of mankind? It puts me at unease and adds to my anxiety. CERN acknowledges that there are miniscule risks -- they admit to it so please spare the convoluted retorts.
