Azamour settles in at Belmont Park

BREEDERS’ CUP Turf favourite Azamour has touched down in America safely ahead of the big race at Belmont Park on Saturday.

Victories in the Prince of Wales's Stakes and the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stales give John Oxx's colt a leading chance, although his canny trainer is taking nothing for granted ahead of the 12-furlong contest.

Oxx told At The Races: "It's a big week for him and a big day on Saturday to finish up. Obviously when you have to travel so far and go to a completely different environment it's uncertain, but he's arrived over there.
