Contender Status

Champs Elysees (GB) is well known as a turf runner but for the Breeders' Cup he has decided to point the horse for the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) and its $5-million purse.

Champs Elysees does have a non-turf race on his resume in the form of the March 1 Santa Anita Handicap (G1) in which he finished third to Heatseeker (Ire). But that was run over the altered version of Cushion Track so Frankel, like other trainers, is taking a gamble that the horse will take to the new Pro-Ride surface.

"I guess it was a different surface than it is now," Frankel said. "Who knows?"
