LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 25 (UPI) -- Bernardini, the winner of the Preakness and Travers stakes, is among the 121 horses that have been pre-entered for the Breeder's Cup to be run in Kentucky.

Flower Alley, which finished second in the 2005 Classic, is also expected to race, as is Perfect Drift, which is competing in its fifth consecutive Breeders' Cup Classic.
The eight-race 23rd Breeders' Cup card, with a total of $20 million in purses, will be contested Nov. 4 at Louisville's Churchill Downs.
