Believing and Soprano 'worth their weight in gold' ahead of Breeders' Cup assignments
Highclere Thoroughbred Racing chief Harry Herbert believes the operation is entitled to dream about Breeders’ Cup success on Saturday as Believing and Soprano head towards their Del Mar assignments in fantastic form.
Believing will contest the Turf Sprint over five furlongs and Soprano is set to step up in trip for the Filly & Mare Turf over a mile and three furlongs after finishing runner-up in a Grade 1 at Keeneland this month over two furlongs shorter. Both fillies are trained by George Boughey.
It has been another terrific campaign for Highclere, who enjoyed winners at Cheltenham and Newbury on Friday, and Herbert is excited the owners have more hopes of international success.
