One horse with designs on the Breeders’ Cup Turf and another whose most recent start came in the Breeders’ Cup Turf are among seven entered in the Group 1 Preis von Europa on Sunday at Cologne Racecourse in Germany.  

Rebel’s Romance, trained by Charlie Appleby for Godolphin, could punch his ticket to the BC Turf at Keeneland if he runs his winning streak to four in the Preis von Europa. Four-year-old Rebel’s Romance didn’t race on turf until his eighth start, having made his first seven starts on all-weather tracks in England and dirt tracks in the Middle East.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Longshot Last Call graduated in style under Rafael Hernandez in Saturday’s Grade 1 Natalma at Woodbine, while earning a fees-paid berth into the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Keeneland in November.

Last Call rallied from seventh in the eight-horse field to hit the front in mid-stretch en route to a one-length score over the troubled favorite Cairo Consort.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - The accomplished English runner Modern Games aired by 5 1/4 lengths over Ivar in Saturday’s $1 million Woodbine Mile, while earning a fees-paid berth to the Breeders’ Cup Mile at Keeneland in November.

William Buick, who won the Grade 1 Summer earlier on the card on Mysterious Night, had Modern Games racing five lengths off an honest pace set by Get Smokin.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - The white-faced English raider Mysterious Night punched his ticket to the Breeders’ Cup with an authoritative score under William Buick in Saturday’s Grade 1 Summer on the Woodbine Mile undercard.

Mysterious Night ($3.10) stalked the leaders in fourth on the backstretch of the one-turn mile, as Ninetyfour Expos set honest fractions while being pressed by Chiseler.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Nest, who won both the Grade 1 Alabama and Grade 1 Coaching Club American Oaks at Saratoga this summer, returned to the work tab Saturday morning, breezing an easy half-mile in 50.45 seconds over the Belmont Park training track.

Nest, the clear leader of the 3-year-old filly division, worked outside of Al’s Rocket. They went their opening quarter in 24.60 seconds and galloped out five furlongs in 1:03.29.

Flightline, the undefeated 4-year-old colt who posted a generations-best 126 Beyer Speed Figure in his win in Saturday’s Pacific Classic, closed as the 4-5 favorite in last weekend’s Breeders’ Cup Classic pool, according to the Breeders’ Cup.

Flightline, who will train up to the Classic, closed at less than half his price in the first Breeders’ Cup Classic pool, held Aug. 5-8, when he was nearly 5-2 (a $2 win wager will return $6. 98). Flightline was favored in both pools over 22 other individual betting interests, along with an all-others entry.

DEL MAR, Calif. – Those closest to Flightline worked around the colt on Sunday morning at trainer John Sadler’s Del Mar barn in the quiet, hushed tones of someone in the Reina Sofia admiring Picasso’s “Guernica.” Fitting, because in the Pacific Classic on Saturday, Flightline fashioned a masterpiece.

His 19 1/4-length victory in the 1 1/4-mile Pacific Classic over such proven 10-furlong horses as Country Grammer and Express Train marked his fifth victory without a defeat, and produced the highest Beyer Speed Figure of his career, 126.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Stirred, not shaken.

While East Coast-based trainers with Breeders’ Cup Classic contenders were naturally impressed with the otherworldly performance of Flightline in Saturday’s Grade 1 Pacific Classic at Del Mar, it will not deter them from pointing their horses to a meeting with the unbeaten superstar in the $6 million Classic at Keeneland on Nov. 5.

Flightline, the undefeated 4-year-old who is pointing to the Sept. 3 Pacific Classic at Del Mar, closed at 2-1 odds as the favorite in the first Breeders’ Cup Classic parimutuel future wager, but not without some confusion.

Breeders’ Cup will host two pari-mutuel pools this year offering future bets for this year’s Classic, which is scheduled for Nov. 5 at Keeneland Racecourse in Lexington, Ky.

The first pool will open on Aug. 5 and close on Aug. 7. The second pool will open on Sept. 2 and close on Sept. 5. Both pools will offer 24 betting interests, with 23 individual horses and a bet on “all others.” The bet has a $2 minimum. Takeout for the bet will be 16 percent.

The Classic will have a maximum of 14 starters.
