Sir Mark Prescott, Luke Morris and the Elite Racing Club team have the Breeders' Cup in their sights after Tiffany built on her Group 1 breakthrough with a lucrative win in the Kentucky Turf Cup on Saturday.

The Grade 2 at Kentucky Downs had looked ripe for export, with last year's Breeders' Cup Turf winner Ethical Diamond well fancied to record another success Stateside for Willie Mullins, while the Ed Walker-trained Fort George had been beaten just a nose at Saratoga on his most recent start.

Neither could get past fellow raider Tiffany, who made the most of her run up the inside under Luke Morris to hold off Ethical Diamond by a length and three-quarters. Fort George was a further two and a quarter lengths back in third to complete a 1-2-3 for Britain and Ireland.

William Butler, assistant to Prescott, told reporters: "She's fantastic. We're realising dreams we thought we couldn't realise. She's so consistent and it looks like she's getting better at six. She handled everything so well, and she gives you confidence that she'll bring her A-game every time.

"That confidence makes you be bold and take some chances, and this was a chance that we took. We'll keep rolling the dice."

The win, in a contest worth a shade more than $1 million, was a first in the US for Morris, and he appears set to get a chance to build on that, with the Breeders' Cup meeting mentioned as the obvious aim for Tiffany by Elite's Ryan Bliss. 

The victory gave the mare, winner of the Grosser Preis von Berlin the time before and who is set to be sold at the Tattersalls December Sale, an automatic, fees-paid berth into the Breeders' Cup Turf as part of the 'win and you're in' Breeders' Cup Challenge Series.

Morris said: "She gets the mile and a half well. She's kind of been the bridesmaid for the last 18 months and when she got that Group 1 victory last time, I feel like she really sort of filled with confidence. 

"She came into this race in as good a shape as we've ever had her, and it's just fantastic to travel a horse this far and have some success."

Ethical Diamond might have been a shade unlucky, given he and Ryan Moore hit traffic turning for home. It was a good effort nonetheless, and this will have set him up nicely for his return trip to the Breeders' Cup at Keeneland at the end of next month.

Things did not get much better for Moore in the following Grade 2 Nashville Derby. His mount, the Aidan O'Brien-trained Causeway, went off favourite but could finish only fifth behind local victor Caroline St Beat, who saw off the challenge of the Hugo Palmer-trained Glacius by a length and a half.
