World News – GB – Kameko to skip QEII and head for Breeders’ Cup

Group 1 winner 2000 Guineas Kameko will skip Saturday’s British Champions Day at Ascot and then compete in the Breeders’ Cup Mile

At The Races reports Queen Elizabeth II stakes were considered for Kitten’s Joy’s son But coach Andrew Balding and Qatar Racing owner decided to bypass the race due to the likelihood of a very soft ground

Kameko had odds as short as 4-1 for Queen Elizabeth II, report says

For the Breeders’ Cup Mile he is 7-1 in the future international and now shows his Europe as the 5-1 favorite

Kameko’s victory in the 2000 Guineas in June came after another G1 score, in the Futurity Trophy Stakes But he was followed by three consecutive fourth places until the colt won the Joel Stakes (G2) in Newmarket in September 25
