THE all-important draw for the Breeders' Cup is out – and it's proved a good one for British and Irish horses.
Saeed bin Suroor's 1000 Guineas heroine Mawj was the big winner, getting the plum stall six for the Mile Turf.
She was made 9-4 fav for Saturday's race with Charlie Appleby's Group 1 hero Master Of The Seas the biggest loser after he was drawn in the car park in stall 14.
He was pushed all the way out to 13-2 with most firms, along with ante-post fav Songline after the Japanese raider was drawn in post ten.
Cheers rang out when freak Nunthorpe winner Live In The Dream was drawn five for the Turf Sprint.
Adam West's stable star shocked the sport with his 28-1 victory in the York Group 1 in August.
And he remains a solid 4-1 fav for the rapid sprint ahead of Archie Watson's Bradsell, who was drawn two.
Hollie Doyle will miss the ride on Bradsell owing to a ban, with Luke Morris taking her place.
Mick Appleby's Big Evs could kick off the British party in Santa Anita after he was drawn four for the Juvenile Turf Sprint.
The rapid Flying Childers winner is as short as 11-4 with some firms but a general 3-1 favourite, ahead of Royal Ascot winner Crimson Advocate.
