Top US trainer Graham Motion keeps a beady eye open at Kenilworth

Motion was the man who saddled South African horses Beach Bomb and Isivunguvungu at the Breeders' Cup meeting in California in November. Motion has been admiring of thoroughbreds from this neck of the woods and would have had an eye out for emerging talent.

Saturday's highlights, the L'Ormarins King's Plate and the Cartier Paddock Stakes, are automatic qualifying races for America's ultra-important Breeders' Cup meeting. The two winners, One Stripe and Double Grand Slam, are guaranteed a place in the line-up at Del Mar racecourse in 11 months' time.
