  "account": "Kieren Fallon, a twice Breeders’ Cup winner and current Godolphin work rider, believes that Notable Speech is a \"dream ride\" for the Breeders’ Cup Mile, but won't be rooting for the horse on Saturday night. Speaking to Bets And Horses ahead of the 2026 Breeders’ Cup from Keeneland, Fallon praised the fast ground and Notable Speech's superior form, stating that he is in great shape and has never had issues with his wind or bleeding. He noted that the only challenge for the horse is going uphill, but it seems to perform well in Canada due to the level and consistent track conditions. Fallon also mentioned that Notable Speech has no problems running anywhere, making it a dream ride for anyone. Despite the strong performance of Notable Speech, Fallon doesn't want him to win, as he has a son who rides Lake Forest. Although Lake Forest is currently behind Notable Speech, Fallon believes the gap is smaller than some people think and that Lake Forest has the potential to pounce if the race conditions don't favor Notable Speech. Fallon compares Notable Speech to Modern Games as one of the best Godolphin milers of all-time, predicting a close race between the two. Notable Speech's stablemate, El Cordobes, is set to compete in the Breeders’ Cup Turf and Fallon believes he is overpriced at 25/1. He expects El Cordobes to come on strong in the race. Both the Breeders’ Cup Mile and Turf will be live on ITV on Saturday evening, with the card starting at 5:10 pm.",
