Graham Motion will consider sending Main Sequence to the Far East after notching up his fourth straight top-level victory in the Breeders' Cup Turf.

Second in the 2012 Derby at Epsom to Camelot when trained by David Lanigan, the five-year-old has thrived for the switch Stateside.

The chestnut came with a flying run down the outside to beat Arc runner-up Flintshire on Saturday night and throw his hat into the ring for the Horse of the Year award.

However, Motion does have a slight concern that Main Sequence may not be a great traveller.

"We've been invited to Hong Kong, we've been invited to Japan (Japan Cup) and then there are nice races in Dubai in March, so there are lots of options," said Motion.

"Japan comes a bit quick, so that's a worry. Hong Kong is an option - my only apprehension is that this horse got quite sick when he came to me last winter and I'm just worried about shipping him a long way, but I'd say we'll definitely consider it."

RaceBets have Main Sequence as their 13-2 favourite for the Hong Kong Vase ahead of Al Kazeem and Cirrus Des Aigles at 9-1.
