She's Quality team to 'try and live the dream' with Breeders' Cup bid after yet another big sprint near-miss

Jack Davison is set to saddle his first runner at the Breeders' Cup with his stable star She's Quality travelling to Del Mar following another huge sprint effort when third in the Abbaye last weekend.

The four-year-old has been a model of consistency this season, only finding one too good four times on the bounce earlier in the campaign before finishing fourth in the Flying Five at the Curragh and third at Longchamp.

Ridden in Paris by her usual jockey James Ryan, the 14-1 shot broke from stall seven and tracked the pace in the initial stages before sticking on well to be beaten three lengths by Asfoora on ground considered soft enough for her.

The Acclamation filly will bid to provide both her and her trainer with a top-level breakthrough in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint on November 1.

Davison believes she has the attributes necessary to produce a big display in that contest, with the expected quick ground in her favour.

"The Breeders' Cup is the plan with She's Quality," he said. "It was a great run at Longchamp on ground which wouldn't be optimal. She's danced every dance this year and is taking all the travelling well so we'll kick on with her and try and live the dream. 

"She has great gate speed and speed on quick ground, which is probably a key thing around there. It will be our first runner in the US if she gets over so it's very exciting."

There is set to be further Irish representation in the contest courtesy of the Adrian Murray-trained Arizona Blaze. The Amo Racing runner made his Group 1 breakthrough in the Flying Five last month and went close over the Turf Sprint course and distance when second to Magnum Force in the Juvenile Turf Sprint last year.

The market is headed by 5-1 chance Ag Bullet, who was last seen landing a Grade 2 at Kentucky Downs after taking the Grade 1 Jaipur Stakes at Saratoga in June.
