Zenyatta
The first female Classic champion, she will face 11 rivals as she attempts to repeat her 2009 success in the mile-and-a-quarter race at Churchill Downs.
Zenyatta, trained by John Shirreffs in California, arrived at the course on Tuesday to be met by a crowd of 200.
Meanwhile, English-based trainers Sir Michael Stoute and Henry Cecil are lining up their own challenges.
Stoute will try to win his third successive Breeders Cup Turf with Epsom Derby and Arc de Triomphe champion Workforce, who showed his record win in the first of those two races was no fluke by his courageous defeat of Japanese rival Nakayama Festa in the Arc in Paris in October.
Barbados-born Stoute has won the Turf four times and was successful in each of the past two years with Conduit.
