Assistant trainer Christopher Ely said the early 2-1 favourite has shown no ill effects from the trip, which isnt good news for the remaining nine horses in the field for the 1 1/2-mile turf event.Hes eating everything, hes drinking everything, we gave him exercise (Thursday) morning, hes fresh and hes happy, Ely said following the race draw at Woodbine. The big part is hes eating ... but he takes everything well.Then again, travel is nothing new for the son of 2005 Breeders Cup Turf champion Shirocco. Brown Panther has competed in England, Germany, Ireland, France and Australia and his 10 career victories have come at nine different tracks.Ely said one of Brown Panthers strengths is his ability to adapt to any surface, leaving Ely unconcerned about the potential of challenging conditions on the Woodbine turf on Sunday afternoon.I think everything will be right as long as weve got a good gallop and we can get him settled, Ely said.

Jockey Joel Rosario, who guided Hyper to a second-place result behind Joshua Tree in last years International, will ride Big Blue Kitten for the first time.Big Blue Kitten comes off a fourth-place finish Sept. 27 in the Turf Classic, 2 1/4-lengths behind winner Main Sequence at Belmont Park.It was a little disappointing, we really liked him going into the race, trainer Chad Brown said. It waasnt a bad effort but it wasnt a winning effort either.dddddddddddd.But he came out of the race in great shape. Hes training well.Hillstar, a four-year-old British-bred, is the 5-1 third choice and drew the No. 7 post. Trainer Sir Michael Stoute won the International in 96 with Singspiel and has been second twice (Shardari in 1986, Ask in 2007) and third (Daliapour, 2000).Jockey Ryan Moore, who guided Joshua Tree to victory in this race last year, will ride Hillstar. The horse comes off a Group 3 win at Newbury on Sept. 20, his lone victory in six starts this year.I think a mile and a half is his best trip, Stoute said. He (Brown Panther) beat me at Chester in May but that was an extended mile and five (furlongs).He just outstayed me that day. I would be hopeful I could beat him at a mile and a half.Dynamic Sky and Pyrite Mountain are the two Canadian-bred horses in the race.Five Canadian-bred horses have won the International since it became a turf event in 1958.
