Godolphin are widening the options late in the season for their progressive juvenile Ibn Khaldun by entering him, for a fee of $15,000, in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Monmouth Park, New Jersey, on Oct 26, though there is still every chance the colt could stay in Britain to tackle the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster instead.
Simon Crisford, Godolphin's racing manager, ahead of arguably the most important week of the year for the 'Royal Blues', said: "We're keeping all avenues open as we sort out where our two-year-olds stand."
Ibn Khaldun completed a hat-trick when he comfortably met the challenge of a step-up in class to Group Three by beating Redolent and Yahrab in the Deloitte Autumn Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.
