The English Derby and Arc winner, Workforce, is a go for the Breeders' Cup Turf, providing the turf is not too firm.  

Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to Workforce's owner Khalid Abdullah, said: "After discussions with the owner it has been decided that Workforce will be confirmed as a runner for the Breeders' Cup Turf on Monday.

"He will run providing the ground is not too firm. They have had very little rain in Kentucky in the last month, but they are forecast a substantial amount of rain in the next week, so I doubt it will be a problem."

Workforce brings a big reputation to the Breeders' Cup Turf, and will surely be favored in this race which lacks an American standout.
