Sights on a second Breeders' Cup for Wuheida

J A McGrath

Early plans for Godolphin's Del Mar heroine Wuheida include another trip to America in 2018 and an attempt to win a second G1 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf.

Trainer Charlie Appleby said a return visit to the World Championships was the ultimate target, and that he would devise a program leading to Churchill Downs, venue for next year's Breeders' Cup.

"She will have an easy first half of the year, and then we will start working towards Kentucky in the autumn," he said.

"A G1 race such as the Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville in early August is a suitable race that comes to mind for her in summer, and it is possible she could also drop back to a mile at some stage," Appleby added.

Wuheida, by Dubawi, raced five times this season, all at G1 level, and never finished out of the first four.
