Fame And Glory Breeders' Cup Turf bid in doubt

Fame And Glory: could stay in training as a five-year-old

  PICTURE: Mark Cranham (racingpost.com/photos)  Fame And Glory could miss Breeders' Cup Turf By tony o'hehir 1:05PM 15 OCT 2010 FAME AND GLORY is far from certain to run in the Breeders' Cup Turf at Churchill Downs next month, according to trainer Aidan O'Brien.

He had quite a hard race in the Arc and while we haven't made a final decision yet, he might be finished for the season.

"There is a chance that he will remain in training next year."

Fame And Glory, a four-time Group 1 winner, is 6-1 with Ladbrokes and as low as 3-1 with Boylesports for the race.

O'Brien, for whom Bright Horizon (Marathon) and Together (Juvenile Fillies' Turf) are likely Breeders' Cup travellers, has yet to finalise plans for the meeting.

He has Cape Blanco, the Irish Derby and Irish Champion Stakes winner, as a possible alternative to Fame And Glory for the Turf.
