Racing: Ouija Board was reported to be in fine form following her second success in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf in the last three years.

The five-year-old mare raised the roof at Churchill Downs with a brilliant victory in the Grade One contest over a mile and three furlongs.

She left Kentucky for New York today on the first leg of her long journey to Tokyo for the Japan Cup on November 26.

"It was amazing. She just did it so well," said Dunlop's assistant trainer Robin Trevor Jones.

"There's no problem at all with her — she's in great nick. She ate everything last night and she didn't have a hard race at all.

"We are shipping her up to New York and hopefully she'll get there this afternoon.

"We'll see how she is there but the main plan now is to go and head off to Japan and have another crack at the Japan Cup."

Ouija Board was fifth to Alkaased last November before going on to win the Hong Kong Vase.

She could also bid for a repeat win at Sha Tin on December 10 before being retired to the paddocks.

"Fingers crossed, but let's take it a race at a time. The plan is to go to Hong Kong as well in December and at the moment she's perfectly right," Jones told At The Races.
