Magical (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) will have the opportunity to add a fourth Grade/Group 1 to her CV this campaign, with trainer Aidan O'Brien having told Racing Post she is confirmed for the Nov. 2 Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita Park.
“Magical will be entered in the Turf, along with Anthony Van Dyck, but she is more likely to run in the Filly & Mare Turf in which Fleeting, who didn't have the clearest of runs at Ascot on Saturday, is also an intended runner,” O'Brien told Racing Post.
G1 St James's Palace S. and G1 Prix de Moulin de Longchamp winner Circus Maximus (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) will bid to give O'Brien a first win in the GI Breeders' Cup Mile, while Evie Stockwell's Fairyland (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) is being aimed at the GI Turf Sprint. Ballydoyle's juvenile brigade is likely to be headed by the No Nay Never sons Arizona (Ire) and Wichita (Ire), both stakes winners and second and third, respectively, behind Pinatubo (Ire) (Shamardal) in the G1 Dewhurst S. on Oct. 12.
