not many look like they are on their way to Monmouth. Godolphin with just DCat (and only in the Dirt Mile!), APOB with 2 (They really should send Peeping Fawn!), Passage of Time, Red Rocks.. Fabre might send one or two (i think Satwa is going as well!), but as the article below says, it could be just single figures from euro raiders. However, we could still likely get 2 wins..
DISCREET CAT is likely to be Godolphin's only runner at the Breeders' Cup – signalling the possibility of a much reduced European challenge at this year's meeting.
With neither top miler Ramonti nor new team member Creachadoir making the trip to the US and Aidan O'Brien set to field just two runners, the international team at Monmouth Park could be one of its smallest ever, despite the meeting's expansion to two days this year.
The lowest turnout by Europe was in 1997, when nine horses travelled to Hollywood Park, but the number of participants from the continent could again be in single figures with Filly & Mare Turf challenger Passage Of Time and Red Rocks, bidding for a repeat win in the Turf, among the few other horses committed to running.
Ramonti, who picked up his third Group 1 prize of the year in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, is likely to wait for the Hong Kong International meeting.
Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford said: “We have to enter on Monday but Ramonti will not go for the Breeders' Cup. “He will get his entries in Hong Kong. We don't think he is going to be ideally suited by the track at Monmouth Park and he deserves a bit of a break. He may well run in the mile and a quarter race in Hong Kong rather than the Mile.
“Discreet Cat is heading towards the Breeders' Cup Mile Dirt. He has come out of his last race in good order, so from that point of view we are happy with him.
“Obviously he has got to put that running well behind him in his next race, buthe's going forward at the moment.
We're going to make some plans next week for Creachadoir, but he won't be going to the Breeders' Cup.”
The stable's star two-year-old Rio De La Plata is still being considered for next weekend's Darley Dewhurst Stakes following his latest victory in the Prix Jean Luc Lagardere.
“He has come out of the race in France very well and we will see how he is in the next week,” Crisford added.
