From Forbes.com: "This three-year-old Kentucky-bred is based in England, and he makes his first trip to the U.S. to run in the Classic. He eked out a neck win in the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot on October 20, and he’s never run on dirt, though he did get a six-length win on the synthetic track at Kempton in September of 2017. So: he’ll be running on short rest; he’s run on grass; and he travelled across an ocean. He’s won $3.5 million, so his talent is nothing to overlook…but what a stunner it would be if he could pull this off."
“It was always the plan, if he had a good season, to try the Breeders’ Cup Classic,” jockey Oisin Murphy said. “It’s a much bigger race than just staying on the turf. The horse is a champion 3-year-old. He’s the best miler and mile and a quarter horse in Europe.
“We’ve got nothing to lose, so we’re going to give it our best shot.”
