Friday's Breeders Cup action on ITV4 gets underway at Keeneland with five Grade 1 contests featuring some of the most exciting two-year-olds in America and Europe. The opening night, billed as Future Stars Friday, runs from 18:30 to 22:00.

There is plenty of international interest, with our European challengers taking on the leading American juveniles. Libertango catches the eye in the opening Juvenile Turf Sprint (6:55), while Aidan O'Brien's Sun Goddess is an interesting contender in the Juvenile Fillies' Turf (8:15). Bob Baffert also has a strong hand, particularly with unbeaten Hughes in the Juvenile.

Friday's programme is just the opening act, however. The main Breeders Cup Championship Saturday takes place tomorrow, featuring nine further Grade 1 contests, including the Breeders Cup Mile, Turf, Distaff and the eagerly anticipated $7 million Breeders Cup Classic, which is scheduled for 22:16 UK time.

Sunday's live racing schedule on ITV1 and STV features action from Wexford, San Siro, Market Rasen and Galway, with coverage scheduled from 13:15 to 16:00.

This afternoon's ITV Racing card at Aintree has been abandoned due to high winds caused by Storm Boelo. The Halloween Family Fun Day meeting, featuring the William Hill Old Roan Chase, will not go ahead.

In a statement issued on Sunday morning, Aintree said overnight wind speeds had reached 44mph, with further significant winds forecast until at least early afternoon. The course confirmed that the safety of participants, visitors and teams was its priority. General admission ticket holders will be refunded, while hospitality customers will be contacted by the course.

Sunday's meeting at Market Rasen is set to go ahead as planned following an early inspection, although conditions will continue to be monitored.

With Aintree abandoned, the televised action includes two races from Wexford, two from San Siro, three from Market Rasen and one from Galway. Here is the scheduled line-up for this afternoon.
