European hopes of success at the Breeder's Cup meeting later this month received a massive boost yesterday with the news that Sakhee is to make the journey over to Belmont Park.

The Saeed bin Suroor-trained colt, impressive winner of Sunday's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe-Lucien Barriere, was given the go-ahead for the Breeders' Cup by his owner Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum.

The four-year-old will be entered in both the Breeders' Cup Turf and the Breeders' Cup Classic on October 27th, and a final decision as to which race he will run in will be made later.

BETTING: Breeders' Cup Turf: 4-5 Sakhee, 7-1 Mutamam, 8-1 With Anticipation, 10-1 Paolini, Timboroa, 12-1 Hap, Senure, 16-1 Daliapour, 20-1 Zindabad, Blueprint, 25-1 bar.
