Godolphin have high hopes of breaking their North American Grade One duck for the year this weekend.
Fantastic Light and Muhtathir are well fancied for their assignments either side of the USA/Canada border.
Tomorrow Fantastic Light takes on seven rivals in the Man O`War Stakes at Belmont Park, an 11-furlong turf event.
The King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes runner-up will be ridden by Jerry Bailey, who won the race on Godolphin`s Daylami two years ago.
He has been sent to New York after a tilt at the Melbourne Cup was ruled out and Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford told the Daily Racing Form: 'We think he is an ideal candidate for American racing.
'He does well on fast ground and likes to quicken off a fast pace. The Man O`War is a good starting point.'
Michael Jarvis runs Lancashire Oaks winner Ela Athena, who arrived in the USA on Thursday.
But most intriguing opponent is the locally-trained John`s Call, a nine-year-old former steeplechaser who won the Grade One Sword Dancer Invitational Handicap at Saratoga last month.
North of the border, Godolphin`s Muhtathir has been made 7-2 second favourite by local odds-makers for Sunday`s Atto Mile at Woodbine in Toronto.
He has been handed a potentially unfavourable outside draw in stall 11 of 13 runners for the turf contest.
But Godolphin head lad Ross Campbell told the Blood-Horse: 'I hope we can overcome that and get a good position early on in the race, maybe the top half.
'He`s usually up there with the pace. It`s a long straight and he`s got to get every yard of the mile. I`m very hopeful.'
Muhtathir, who won the Haras de Fresnay-Le-Buffard Prix Jacques Le Marois at Deauville under Frankie Dettori last time out, will be ridden by Mike Smith.
The Luca Cumani-trained Arkadian Hero is rated a 12-1 chance for Sunday`s race, in which he will be partnered by Jamie Spencer.
