World-class racing from Del Mar is televised on ITV on Saturday evening. The action gets underway with the Grade One Breeders’ Cup Distaff.

Fillies aged three and older will be in action, but runners aged three have an excellent strike-rate in the contest, winning 40%. Nitrogen will be a leading contender, but it could be Brendan Walsh’s Clicquot that is overlooked in the betting.

The three-year-old has a good draw in three, and comes to Del Mar in career-best form after winning on her last three starts. Her progress continued when she outstayed Dry Powder to upset the odds to land the G1 Cotillion at Parx in late September.

That form has some strong substance, with Scottish Lassie, who re-opposes, finishing back in fourth. Good chance that further progress could be on the agenda.

The big race of the night in terms of European interest comes in the form of the Grade One Breeders’ Cup Turf. Run over a mile and four furlongs, the betting is dominated by Minnie Hauk and Rebel’s Romance.

However, it could be the latter’s stablemate that could be primed to upset the odds if the top two get racing too early. The four-year-old already has form over a couple of reappearing rivals after landing the Group Two Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Newmarket in July, before he followed up with an excellent finishing effort to land the Grade One Sword Dancer at Saratoga.

Last time out, he was behind Rebel’s Romance, but John Velazquez sat too far back and allowed the eventual winner to set the fractions as he pleased out in front. However, a big field suits El Cordobes better this time around, and connections have already teased that he could be overlooked at a bigger price.

Billy Loughnane is a better booking than last time out, and Godolphin have twice won this race with their apparent second string. Big each-way player.

The big race of the two-day meet comes in the form of the Grade One Breeders’ Cup Classic. Some of the shine of the race has come off following Sovereignty’s scratching, but it is still a hugely competitive renewal.

Reigning champion Sierra Leone once again collides with Forever Young and Fierceness, with the three four-year-olds finishing in the first three places 12 months ago.

However, Journalism has been posting some eye-catching workouts since arriving at Del Mar, and the one-time Kentucky Derby favourite’s chances could be overlooked. The three-year-old will get the weight-for-age allowance, and the booking of Jose Ortiz aboard is a notable angle worth considering.

The likable colt has danced every dance this year, winning the Grade One Preakness and Grade One Haskell, and taking second in the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes.

A line could be drawn when three lengths behind Fierceness in the Grade One Pacific Classic last time, as that appeared to be one run too many. He comes into this following a break, and that could be key to his chances on Saturday.
