The $4 million Breeders' Cup Turf has drawn a list of pre-entries befitting its status as the nation's leading turf race.

Wednesday, an international field of 15 were announced for the BC Turf, which is run at 1 1-2 miles. The race, which will have a maximum of 14 runners, has drawn leading runners from Europe and the United States and a Group 1 winner from Brazil.

Enable, the 4-year-old filly who won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe for the second consecutive year on Oct. 7, will be a heavy favorite. Trained by John Gosden, she is part of a European group that includes Talismanic, who won the 2017 BC Turf at Del Mar; and Crystal Ocean, a three-time stakes winner earlier this year.

Trainer Aidan O'Brien, who has won a record six runnings of the BC Turf, has pre-entered Hunting Horn and Magical.

Overall, eight horses pre-entered in the BC Turf are based with American stables. The group includes Arklow, Channel Maker, Glorious Empire, Hi Happy, Liam the Charmer, Quarteto de Cordas, Robert Bruce and Sadler’s Joy.

Channel Maker and Robert Bruce were first and second in the Grade 1 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic at Belmont Park on Sept. 29. Glorious Empire has not raced since a win in the Grade 1 Sword Dancer Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 25.

Quarteto de Cordas, based with Ian Wilkes in Kentucky, won a Group 1 race at 1 1-2 miles on turf in Brazil in June. A 4-year-old, Quarteto de Cordas has not started in the United States.

The other European-based candidates are Roaring Lion and Waldgeist.

Roaring Lion, the star 3-year-old in Europe who has won four consecutive Group 1 races for Gosden, was also pre-entered in the BC Classic at 1 1-4 miles on dirt. The BC Classic was listed as Roaring Lion’s first preference.

If Roaring Lion runs in the BC Classic, Liam the Charmer, who won the Grade 2 John Henry Turf Championship at Santa Anita on Sept. 30, would gain a berth in the BC Turf field. He was the only horse listed on an also-eligible list by a committee of racing officials when pre-entries were announced on Wednesday.
