Breeders’ Cup International Report
Arizona Blaze (GB) (Turf Sprint) was the first European horse on the main track shortly after 6:15 a.m. David Egan will take the mount on Saturday, and he was trackside Wednesday to watch exercise. Egan announced that he has had his contract with Amo Racing extended until the end of 2028.
Egan said; “I’m incredibly proud to extend my contract with Amo Racing. There’s a long-term vision to build something special and sustainable, and I’m honored to play my part in that journey. We’ve got a great team of people behind the scenes and a strong string of horses, so there’s a real sense of excitement about what’s to come.”

Amo Racing and Egan team up with five rides at the Breeders’ Cup with Arizona Blaze (GB) in the Prevagen Turf Sprint (G1). He also rides Outfielder for Wesley Ward in the Juvenile Turf. His other mounts could be Valiant Force who is first also eligible in the Cygames Sprint, Hill Road in the Longines Turf and Cathedral (GB) in the Marker’s Mark Filly & Mare Turf.
Rashabar (IRE) (Turf) went onto the main track under the watchful eye of his trainer Brian Meehan who was riding a pony.
Meehan said, “The Breeders’ Cup is like the Olympics and it’s great to be back. The event has always caught my imagination. All is well with Rashabar, the team is very happy with him. He’s got a big task on Saturday but I’m sure he’ll give it a good go.”
Andrew Balding was trackside to oversee his three horses. “Pacific Mission (GB) (John Deere Juvenile Fillies Turf) is a filly that has only had the three runs but is improving every start,” Balding said. “She was a very good second in the May Hill (G2) at Doncaster on her most recent start. We felt this type of race would suit her well. She’s talented but obviously lacks experience and has a wide draw (12) which is an inconvenience, but I hope she runs well.
“Jonquil (GB) (Fanduel Mile) has been consistent all year at a mile. His lesser runs have come at shorter. I thought he ran very well in the circumstances at Keeneland, and I hope he’ll run a big race on Saturday.
“See The Fire (GB) (Filly & Mare Turf) has been mixing it with the very best in Europe this summer. She never runs a bad race and is ideally suited by fast ground. Stepping up a furlong shouldn’t be a problem for her. She has been on the go a fair while this year and it’s the end of a long season, but she seems to still be in good form and if she runs her race, she’ll be very competitive.”
Silawi (Turf) did an easy gallop on the turf that connections were pleased with.
Ethical Diamond (IRE) (Turf) is one of a few flat horses in training with legendary Irish jumps trainer, Willie Mullins. Mullins said, “He’s come out of the Ebor very well. I’ve been very happy with him over the last few weeks. He’s in great shape and the Breeders’ Cup Turf might suit him.
He’s had a few setbacks through his career, and he’s just come right now. All he has done is kept on improving and we’ve figured out how best to ride him, too. He was very good at York.”
