Ouija Board in top form for Breeders' Cup

Ouija Board was reported in top form as she prepared to fly out to America in search of back-to-back victories in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf.

Ed Dunlop's dual Oaks winner is sharing a direct flight to New York ahead of Saturday's meeting at Belmont Park with Jeremy Noseda's Breeders' Cup Mile hope Majors Cast.

Ouija Board landed last year's Filly and Mare Turf by a length and half but has only raced twice this term - when beaten in the Prince of Wales's Stakes before returning successfully at Newmarket last month.

“She did a normal piece of work on Saturday with her usual work rider and her usual lead horse. We were very pleased with her, she's in good form,” said Dunlop's assistant Peter Shoemark.

“Obviously we were delighted with her win in the Princess Royal at Newmarket. Everything's gone to plan and we couldn't be happier.

“We wouldn't want bottomless ground. She has run on good to soft but not on very soft, but I suppose everyone is in the same boat.”
