IT) bid will require further evaluation of the 5-year-old Galileo runner. "We'll have to consider it now," said O'Meara, who collected his first top-level score when Mon- dialiste split horses with a sparkling turn of foot on yielding ground to beat Lea by half a length in 1:36.66. "Today was the big race that we had in mind, stepping up to group I level. The Breeders' Cup will be under consideration, but we'll just take the horse home and see how he is. We thought we'd come here with the long straight and the big track. I'm not quite sure whether Keeneland would suit him as well." Mondialiste won two straight in England before making his first North American visit, including the Aug. 22 Betfred Mobile Strensall Stakes (Eng-III).
