Canford Cliffs, So You Think and Treasure Beach nominated to Breeders' Cup

The four-year-old Canford Cliffs has won five consecutive races

Group 1 races over the past two years, most recently defeating three-time

defending Breeders' Cup Mile (G1) winner Goldikova (Ire) (Anabaa) in the Queen

Anne S. (Eng-G1) at Royal Ascot. Trained by Richard Hannon, Canford Cliffs also

won the Lockinge S. (Eng-G1) at Newberry prior to Royal Ascot. In 2010, he won

the Sussex S. (Eng-G1) at Goodwood, the St. James's Palace Stakes (Eng-G1) at

Royal Ascot and the Irish Two Thousand Guineas (Ire-G1) at The Curragh.

A dominant winner of eight stakes races in Australia, the

six-year-old So You Think, trained by O'Brien, began a European campaign this

year by winning the Tattersalls Gold Cup (Ire-G1). He then finished second by a

neck in the Prince of Wales's S. (Eng-G1) at Royal Ascot.

The Open Enrollment period, which will end on Thursday, is

available to any previously non-nominated horse sired by any stallion standing

anywhere in the world that has been nominated to the Breeders' Cup in 2011.

"This open enrollment period has given us the chance to nominate

our runners to the Breeders' Cup at a reduced price than the usual $100,000 per

horse," said O'Brien, head trainer for Coolmore. "Making it easier for

European-based horses to run in the Breeders' Cup also gives them future

stallion prospects in the American market at the end of their racing careers."

"The Open Enrollment program has proven to be a great

opportunity for owners on a global basis to nominate their racing stock at

extremely favorable prices," said Dora Delgado, Breeders Cup senior vice

president. "We want to provide those who did not nominate under the previous

system the chance to take advantage of the full benefits of the Breeders' Cup

program."
