Albert Hall, who won in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes two weeks ago at The Curragh, should be able to handle the step up to Group 1 company at Doncaster Saturday in the Racing Post Trophy.

Budget Rent A Car, Century 21 Real Estate Corporation, and the Days Inn hotel chain have reached agreements to become "official partners" of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association and Breeders' Cup Ltd. The agreements will give the companies advertising and signage rights for the Oct. 30 Breeders' Cup at Lone Star Park.
