Breeders' Cup target for Midday Connections of Midday are plotting an autumn campaign centred on her defence of the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Churchill Downs in November. Henry Cecil's star filly recorded her fourth Group One triumph in the Yorkshire Oaks last week and is reported to have taken those exertions well. While there has been no decision on whether she will run again in the next couple of months, Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager for the owner Prince Khalid Abdullah, has revealed a return trip to America is her primary aim. "We've decided Midday will head for the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf, but whether she'll run again before then has not totally been established," said Grimthorpe. "We'll see how she goes over the next couple of weeks but at this stage, I would think the Prix Vermeille (September 12) would be more likely than the Prix de l'Opera (October 3). "There is not a big issue there and the Breeders' Cup is her main objective."
