Dunlop hoping for Ouija ‘bonus’

ED DUNLOP already has one eye on Belmont Park and the 2005 Breeders’ Cup despite there being only 48 hours to go before his star filly Ouija Board goes to post a warm favourite to land this year’s Filly & Mare Turf at Lone Star Park.

The Newmarket trainer, who flew into Texas late on Wednesday, was on hand to supervise Ouija Board's preparations for Saturday's contest as she cantered on the turf course under work rider Chris Hinson.

But rather than expecting success in a race for which William Hill make her the 7-4 market leader, Dunlop is determined not to raise his expectations.
