AIt's an 14 Golden Sword (GB) High Chaparral (Ire) Shea de Kock honor to be back here,@ said Christophe Lauriel, All carry 126 pounds, bar Buena Vista, 121. Buena Vista=s connections may not be concerned about assistant to trainer Christophe Clement. AGate five is being positioned to the outside, but the good. We hope for a good trip, and hope he makes it same can=t be said for Twice Over. The this year. The Castleton Lyons colorbearer has been @ Juddmonte flagbearer is drawn to the second in a pair of right of the Japanese mare in the 13 Breeders Cup = hole. AI think realistically, we would have appearances, chasing preferred to have been a little bit nearer home Zenyatta (Street the rail,@ said Teddy Grimthorpe, Khalid Cry {Ire}) in the 2009 Abdullah=s racing manager. AHe's in very GI BC Classic and finding good form. Physically, he's done well, Twice Over only Goldikova (Ire) and mentally he's always been on top of Horsephotos (Anabaa) too good for his game.@ him in her historic 2010 GI BC Mile success. There=s only one distaffer in the World Cup field, but she=s a doozy. Sunday Racing=s Buena Vista (Jpn) (Special Week {Jpn}), second by 3/4 of a length in the G1 Dubai Sheema Classic last year, will break from the 13 Buena Vista hole in the marquee event M Marten this time. AThe draw doesn't matter,@ trainer Hiroyoshi Matsuda commented. AIt's like fate. I have a lot of confidence in her, and I think she's the best horse in the field.@ If Buena Vista takes down the big prize, her bank account will clear $18 million, and she will become the richest racehorse ever. No member of the fairer sex has won the World Cup to date, with To the Victory (Jpn) (Sunday Silence)=s runner-up effort in 2001 the best finish yet by a filly or mare.
