While the Prix De L’Arc De Triomphe is always one of the biggest conversations in European flat racing circles, the fact remains that the Breeders’ Cup Turf, which will unfold this year at Del Mar Racetrack on the outskirts of San Diego, is looking like it could pull together an immense field of talented contenders looking to further etch their name into history. 

No longer is the unique Arc/BC Turf double considered an unattainable prospect after the legendary Enable proved adept at handling the undulations of Longchamp and the firm course at Churchill Downs. 

There’s plenty to like about the contenders coming into the race this time around and you’ll notice that the bookmakers are having a tough time figuring out who the genuine fancy might be once they load into the gate in early November. 

There is a real dogfight emerging between four of the most talented 1m4f runners in Europe and they are all within just a couple of points of each other within the ante post market. 

Mishriff is considered to be the slim favourite according to the bookmakers and you’ll find him available around a 4/1 best price at the time of this writing. Owned by Prince Faisal, he was able to capture the Dubai Sheema Classic to deliver the big money for the second time within a month as that victory came on the back of a stellar upset win in the Saudi Cup - widely considered to be the world’s richest race.
