Paco Boy: Breeders' no show
We've knocked out the Breeders' Cup now, I don't think he'd want to go round there on very firm ground so we can look forward to a whole season next year with him.

Trainer Richard Hannon has ruled out Prix de la Foret winner Paco Boy for the Breeders' Cup Mile this month.
After running out an easy winner in last Saturday's seven-furlong Group One race, the three-year-old had been mooted for a tilt on the specialist milers.
However, Hannon is content to pace the Desert Style colt and would rather look forward to next season than send him onto the firm ground of Santa Anita.
"There is no doubt that he is definitely getting better and next year he will stay a mile well, he's only three now and next year he could be taking in the best mile races," Hannon told At The Races.
"We've knocked out the Breeders' Cup now, I don't think he'd want to go round there on very firm ground so we can look forward to a whole season next year with him.
"It was a hell of a time too, the best for 16 years or something. He's not going backwards he's going forwards."
