Interesting updates yesterday from Marcus Hersch regarding Toronado & Olympic Glory and their Mile prospects:

The $2 million Breeders’ Cup Mile briefly got a major boost when Richard Hannon Jr., the son and assistant to English trainer Richard Hannon, announced on the stable’s website Sunday that Olympic Glory, impressive winner of the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on Saturday at Ascot, might well be wheeled back for the BC Mile.
But the younger Hannon, reached by phone Monday, cast things in a different light. Yes, he confirmed that both Olympic Glory and the stable’s other top 3-year-old Toronado had been pre-entered in the Mile, but it was possible neither horse would be shipped for the race, and Toronado is a more likely Mile starter than Olympic Glory.
“We’ve entered both of them, but it’s yet to be decided what we’ll do,” he said. “We’re going to take a look this week and go from there, but it’s more likely to be Toronado of the two at this stage, if any. It’s not certain that either horse will go.”
