See below the expected Charlie Appleby Breeders’ Cup runners as Godolphin’s number one trainer in the UK will look to enhance his incredible record at the top US meeting.
Charlie Appleby’s Breeders’ Cup Record Is Outstanding
It’s amazing to think that Newmarket-based trainer Charlie Appleby has saddled ten Breeders’ Cup winners over the years.
Oh, and these all came from just 20 runners.
The first Charlie Appleby Breeders’ Cup winner came back in 2013 when Outstrip won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita under top US jockey Mike Smith.
Nine more Breeders’ Cup winners followed (see full list below), with Appleby’s most recent coming in 2023 with Master Of The Seas winning the Mile.
This year Charlie Appleby has a strong team of seven Breeders’ Cup runners heading to Del Mar (see below), or you can listen to the Godolphin handler talking about his best chances here.

Charlie Appleby Looking To Win The Breeders’ Cup Mile For A Third Year In-a-Row
Amazingly Charlie Appleby (and William Buick) have won the last three runnings of the Breeders’ Cup Mile and he could make it four if Notable Speech gets to the start.
This talented 3 year-old is arguably one of the best horses Appleby has sent over to the Breeders’ Cup. Being a two-time Group One winner in the UK.
Notable Speech lowered the colours of City Of Troy in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket (watch below) back in May. Plus, he backed that up with a win in the Group One Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood at the end of July.
He’s since run on France at the Arc meeting at Longchamp, but with that race coming on soft ground that he didn’t like many are putting a line through it.
Notable Speech Is Unbeaten On The AW
Overall, Notable Speech has won five of his seven starts and won £912,007 in prize money during his career (to date).
The son of Dubawi is also 3-from-3 on the AW after a trio of wins at Kempton earlier in 2024. He’s also been ridden in all his races by top jockey William Buick.
He’ll face a stern test in the Breeders’ Cup Mile from the likes of Porta Fortuna, Ramatuelle and Diego Velazquez.
However, the best horse racing betting sites in the UK are still making him the Breeders’ Cup Mile favourite.
