ADRIAN MURRAY is optimistic that both Arizona Blaze and Hill Road can outrun their odds at the Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar on Friday.

Murray, who trains the duo for Kia Joorabchian’s Amo Racing, had an excellent first experience at the Stateside event 12 months ago when his Royal Ascot hero Valiant Force chased home Big Evs for an honourable second in the Juvenile Turf Sprint.

He is now back in California hoping to go one better in the same race with the battle-hardened Arizona Blaze, who is yet to finish to finish outside the top four in eight starts and scooped Group Three honours in May.
