Breeders' Cup Turf option for Gatsby The Breeders' Cup Turf has emerged as a potential target for The Grey Gatsby. Kevin Ryan's colt was a slightly disappointing sixth when defending his Irish Champion Stakes crown at Leopardstown on Irish Champions Weekend, but ground conditions were far from ideal and connections are considering stepping up to a mile and a half at Keeneland on October 31st. Adam Ryan, the North Yorkshire trainer's son and assistant, said: " It was just the ground again (in Ireland) - the only time he's had his ground all season was at Ascot. "Looking at it, you'd say he's crying out for a mile and four (furlongs) now. "There's the Breeders' Cup Turf to think about, but it's up to dad and Frank Gillespie (owner). "He's had a long, hard season so we've got to do what's right by the horse." Although winless so far in 2015, The Grey Gatsby has run a number of excellent races in defeat, filling the runner-up spot in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown before finishing third in the Juddmonte International at York.
