John Gosden's Arc heroine, Enable, will break from stall two in Saturday's Breeders' Cup Turf at Churchill Downs.
On what will be just her third start of the year, the filly, who won the Arc de Triomphe for a second time, landed an ideal slot for her latest overseas mission.
Waldgeist, trained by Andre Fabre and considered one of the chief threats to Enable in the $4m race, fared less well in stall 12 of 13.

Accelerate, favourite for the Breeders' Cup Classic, was handed the widest pitch in 14 with Roaring Lion closer to the inside in two.
West Coast will break from seven on the dirt with Aidan O'Brien's Mendelssohn in nine.
Bob Baffert says West Coast "coming into the Classic better than he was last year" when he finished third to Gun Runner.

Feels Accelerate is definitely the "one they all have to beat."#BreedersCup
O'Brien will no doubt have been pleased to see Happily handed stall three for the Breeders' Cup Mile with I Can Fly in eight and Gustav Klimt in 13, one place inside Sir Michael Stoute's Mustashry.
Stoute also saddles Expert Eye, drawn in seven, while French fancy Polydream will break from four.
Wild Illusion was handed stall three for the Filly & Mare Turf with Magic Wand, another O'Brien runner, set to go from 10 under Ryan Moore.
