Breeders' Cup Classic Report - Update

Declaration of War – see European report
Flat Out/Ron the Greek – Trainer Bill Mott’s veteran duo, Flat Out and Ron the Greek, galloped on the main track Wednesday. Ron the Greek went to the paddock and stood at the gate, but Flat Out, who has made 27 career starts and was third in the 2012 Classic, went out too late to participate in the schooling.

Flat Out finished third in the Classic last year, ahead of Ron the Greek in fourth. Mott noted that they were the only two horses that managed to make closing runs, though they fell well short of the top two finishers, Fort Larned and Mucho Macho Man, who battled on the lead.

Earlier this year, Flat Out won the Westchester and Suburban handicaps in New York and Ron the Greek turned in an eye-popping performance on Sept. 28 to win the Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park.

Ron the Greek’s Gold Cup surprised Mott, who said the 6yo is very dependable but rarely is able to pair top efforts.  He hasn’t had back-to-back wins since late in 2011. “We’re not disappointed,” Mott said. “He has been such a good servant for us and what a wonderful horse to be around. He’s just the kindest, nicest horse.  He’s kind of a barn favorite. He doesn’t owe us anything. Neither horse owes us anything. Whatever they do and win on Saturday it’s all a bonus.”

Flat Out and Ron the Greek are part of group of five runners – the top four finishers and beaten favorite Game On Dude – that are returning for another start in the Classic. Mott said the quality of competition matches what lined up for the $5 million purse 12 months ago.

“It’s a great field. Good, solid horses,” he said. “It’s a lot of the same horses that were in here last year.  It’s great that those horses can stick around and be back for more.”

Mott said that his horses seem to be under the radar a bit while most of the attention is on the likes of Game On Dude, Fort Larned and Mucho Macho Man.

“Because they’ve beaten each other and they have been a factor in every race, but they haven’t been the dominant force,” Mott said. “It’s amazing how quickly people get off horses. They get off of Royal Delta and I haven’t heard anything about Wise Dan after he runs second one time. It’s almost like people get off of them a little bit.

“Fort Larned is the returning champion and Game On Dude hasn’t been beaten in a while. They’re just so obvious. People don’t look past the fact that they won their last race sometimes. I don’t know that that’s always the most important factor. It’s good to see them coming off a good race.”
Fort Larned – Janis Whitham’s defending Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Fort Larned had an easy first morning on Wednesday at Santa Anita, walking outside of Barn 99 with exercise rider Katie Merritt up.

“He worked Monday at Churchill Downs and then had a long flight yesterday,” trainer Ian Wilkes said. “Actually this is what he did last year only he did it at Churchill Downs because we came in a day later.”

The plane bringing Fort Larned to Santa Anita left Louisville shortly after 2 Tuesday afternoon, made a one-hour stop in Oklahoma City and arrived at Ontario International shortly before 5 p.m. local time.

Wilkes said Fort Larned would gallop the next two mornings, going out at 6:30 each day in his quest to become the second two-time winner of the Classic, joining Tiznow (2000-01).

Fort Larned has the pedigree to accomplish the repeat. His grandmother, Bayakoa, won the Distaff in 1989 at Gulfstream Park and in 1990 at Belmont Park.
Game On Dude/Paynter – Trainer Bob Baffert galloped all eight of his Breeders’ Cup runners Wednesday morning at Santa Anita, including his two Classic starters Game On Dude and Paynter.

Baffert has spoken all week about how he’s expecting big things from Game On Dude and how he believes the amazing comeback horse Paynter will be “right there” at the finish of the 1 1/4m Classic. He said more of the same Wednesday morning, then spoke about a special connection that his potential Horse of the Year hero Game On Dude has.

"I called Joe Torre (the baseball superstar who is one of the owners of Game On Dude) the other day after ‘Dude’ worked so well,” Baffert said. “He was in a meeting about umpires and he had to call me back. But when he did, he was really fired up. He’s into this horse. If Game On Dude was a human, he’d be just like Joe – kind and classy. What a gentleman and nice guy he is. Joe’s low-key, but he’s really excited about this horse.”
Palace Malice – Dogwood Stable’s Palace Malice galloped at Santa Anita Wednesday morning, readying for his 10^th start of the year in Saturday’s Classic. The 3yo son of Curlin hasn’t missed a beat since launching his 2013 campaign at Gulfstream on Jan. 19.

“It says a lot about him, physically and mentally, that he’s been able to do that,” trainer Todd Pletcher said. “He seems to thrive on it, actually. He’s gained weight through the process and has gotten bigger and stronger as he’s gone along.”

Not that everything has gone smoothly, particularly early in the season when he encountered traffic and rough trips in prep races for the Kentucky Derby, and the Derby, itself.

“It was frustrating but it made winning the Belmont that much more satisfying,” Pletcher said.

The Classic will be a stiff challenge for all 12 horses entered said Pletcher.

“It’s a really deep field. It’s one of those things where you wouldn’t be surprised if a number of different horses win it. Fort Larned to win it again it wouldn’t surprise you. If Mucho Macho Man, judging by the way he ran in the Awesome Again, won it, it wouldn’t surprise you. Game On Dude certainly wouldn’t surprise you,” Pletcher said. “And you’re not even talking about Ron the Greek, Flat Out, Palace Malice or Will Take Charge. It’s a nasty race.”
Last Gunfighter – Trainer Chad Brown is very candid in his assessment of the Last Gunfighter’s chances in the Breeders’ Cup Classic: he’s got a tough assignment.

The 4yo First Samurai colt bred and owned by John Gunther is a consistent runner, who has won three Graded stakes in 2013. Brown said he is aiming high by entering Last Gunfighter in the $5 million Classic.

“He needs to run a career race, first of all,” Brown said. “No. 1, he needs to put up the best number he has ever put up. No. 2, he’s going to need his share of racing luck. He needs to get a clean trip and save ground and needs some of the top contenders to maybe not have their best day. That may result in him getting a piece of the purse.”

Last Gunfighter galloped on the main track at Santa Anita Wednesday morning.
Moreno – Southern Equine Stable’s Moreno jogged 1 1/2m Wednesday morning before heading to the paddock for a schooling lesson for trainer Eric Guillot.

The 3yo gelded son of Ghostzapper required a lot of patience on the part of Guillot as it took him 10 starts to break his maiden which came in June at Belmont Park after a winless 2yo season. The long dry spell did not deter Guillot, who explained the situation thusly: “He had a lot of little issues throughout that time, including being gelded. But he finally put it together.”
Mucho Macho Man – Reeves Thoroughbred Racing’s Mucho Macho Man galloped 1 1/2m before visiting the Santa Anita paddock Wednesday morning.

Stable manager Finn Green liked what he saw from the Awesome Again Stakes winner.

“He did great. He knows what’s going on,” Green said. “He’s a professional. He’s happy, very, very happy.”

Green credited trainer Kathy Ritvo with making Mucho Macho Man a happy horse.

“Kathy’s done a great job. She’s a good horsewoman, a very, very good horsewoman. She pays attention to detail. She knows her horses,” Green said. “She’s on his legs every day. She put the bandages on his legs this morning. I think she’s one of the most under-rated trainers around.”Planteur – see European report
Will Take Charge – It was a routine day for Will Take Charge as trainer D. Wayne Lukas sent him out for a 1 1/2m gallop Wednesday.

“The colt is doing really well,” Lukas said.

As for 3yo runners going against older horses in the Classic, Lukas said, “Historically, 3-year-olds have done well in the Classic. I won with Cat Thief, so I don’t worry about the age thing.”

As for how the race might shape up, he said, “You have a good blend of early speed, middle-of-the-race stalkers and late runners. It should be an honest pace and a good race.

Breeders' Cup Classic Report 

Flat Out/Ron the Greek – Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott’s veterans went to the track Tuesday morning. Ron the Greek, winner of the Jockey Club Gold Cup, a Win and You’re In race on Sept. 28 at Belmont Park, jogged once around the track, while Flat Out, who was third in the Gold Cup, jogged.

In 2012, Flat Out finished third in the Classic, three-quarters of a length in front of Ron the Greek.

“They’re coming into this as well as they did last year,” Mott said. “Ron the Greek just ran a spectacular race the last time. I’ve said several times that I don’t think there was a horse in the country that was going to beat him in the Jockey Club Gold Cup the last time he ran. He ran as good as any horse could run and it was the fastest Gold Cup in 11 years. He just left them all for dead when they turned for home.

“I can’t tell you if he’s going to repeat that race. He always shows up and he always gives us a good race. Out of the last 21 races he has been 1-2-3-4 in 20 of them. He always shows up, he gives you a good effort and he’s a horse that if he feels like it leaving the gate he could run a big one.”

Mott said that Flat Out has been almost as dependable. The 7yo horse has banked over $3 million in his career.

“I think he’s sitting on a big race,” Mott said. “He didn’t run his very best race in the Gold Cup, which means maybe he’ll come back. Horses don’t always seem to run their A-plus race back-to-back-to-back. If Cigar didn’t run his A-race he was still able to win, just running maybe his B race.

“Both horses seem to be going good, but I would guess maybe just in the sequence of the way things have gone, that maybe Flat Out is the one sitting on a big race.”

Fort Larned – Janis Whitham’s Fort Larned walked the shedrow at trainer Ian Wilkes’ barn at Churchill Downs a day after turning in his final major work (5f in 1:01 4/5) for defense of his title in the Classic.

Fort Larned was scheduled to leave on an afternoon flight to California and a return trip to Santa Anita where he will be stabled in Barn 99 as he was last year.

Brian Hernandez Jr., who rode Fort Larned to victory in the 2012 Classic and has been aboard for the horse’s past nine starts, has the mount Saturday and will break from post position seven.

Game On Dude/Paynter – The Classic 8-5 morning line favorite Game On Dude walked the Bob Baffert shedrow Tuesday morning after his 59 5f work Monday at Santa Anita.

“He’s doing good,” Baffert said.  “He needs to do something big. Here he’s won more than $5 million, but he’s never won a Eclipse championship, even though he’s that kind of horse. He needs to win this Classic to make that special statement.  And I think he can do it.

"He’s a different horse this year. By not running him too much, I’ve kept him good. He couldn’t be doing any better. He drew a good post (9) and if he gets a good break and gets in that high cruising speed of his, he can do it. I’m feeling it this year.”

Baffert noted that he has cameras throughout his barn for security purposes, including a special one in Game On Dude’s stall. He said he could watch him on his cell phone anytime he wanted. In that light the trainer took the opportunity to gig one of Game On Dude’s owners, the high-spirited and high-strung Bernie Schiappa, one of Baffert’s favorite foils.

“I know the horse is OK, but I’m a little worried about Bernie,” he said. “I found him sleeping in his sleeping bag outside Game On Dude’s stall.”

Baffert’s other Classic entrant Paynter walked the shedrow Tuesday morning.

Palace Malice – Belmont Stakes winner Palace Malice departed his Belmont Park base Tuesday at approximately 8:45 a.m. by van.  He was in the air by 11 a.m., on a flight with 2yo stablemate Havana and two of trainer Mike Hushion’s Breeders’ Cup horses.

Two Belmont Stakes winners have won the Classic: Horse of the Year A.P. Indy in 1992 and Drosselmeyer in 2011.  Palace Malice will attempt to join them Saturday from post eight with Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez.         

The Todd Pletcher-trained Belmont Stakes winner is slated to face older horses for the second straight race in Saturday’s Classic, having run second to Ron the Greek in the Jockey Club Gold Cup last time out.

“There are a lot of similarities between his campaign and Princess of Sylmar’s. They’ve been going at it all year in all the big dances,” said Pletcher, who is set to saddle Princess of Sylmar for a start in Friday’s Distaff. “He’s been able to win a couple of them. He was unlucky in the Travers not to win that. I thought he ran really well in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. Ron the Greek was just too good that day.

“He ran really well in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. Ron the Greek ran a huge race that day. (Palace Malice) showed he fits with the older horses in that race. It’s going to take one of those races (like Ron the Greek’s Jockey Club Gold Cup victory) to win the Classic.”

Pletcher said he was confident that his 3-year-old is up to the challenge of the Classic.

“From a tactical standpoint, he has the ability to stalk a fast pace and still deliver a strong finish,” he said. “You know the mile and a quarter isn’t going to be a problem. You just hope for the right set-up and he likes the track and runs a big race on Saturday.”

Last Gunfighter – John Gunther’s 4yo homebred jogged Tuesday morning, a day after shipping from New York with nine other Breeders’ Cup horses trained by Chad Brown.

The son of First Samurai, has won four of six starts this year. His only off-the-board finish of 2013 came in his last start when he was fifth in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. Brown said that since the colt is doing very well the decision was made to take a swing at the $5 million Classic.

“It wouldn’t shock me at all if this horse was able to grab a piece of it,” Brown said. “He’s training really well. I know it’s a tough race. A lot of things are going to have to go his way and a lot of things are going to have to go the wrong way for some of the leading contenders. But it’s a big day and anything can happen. We’re going to take shot.”

Last Gunfighter, who will be ridden by Javier Castellano, drew the rail in the 12-horse Classic.

Moreno – Trainer Eric Guillot sent the 3yo gelded son of 2004 Classic winner Ghostzapper out for 1 1/2m jog Tuesday morning as his progress toward Saturday’s Classic continued.

Even though Moreno took 10 races to score his first victory, the trainer said he never lost faith in the horse and it paid off as he ran right back to win Dwyer Stakes and finish in the money in his most recent three races.

Guillot takes credit for renaming the horse after the owner-breeder Mike Moreno of Southern Equine Stable, saying in his normal jocular tone, “I thought when  Hansen [2011 Juvenile winner] was named after his owner he should have one named after him. I could see he was going to be a good horse.”

Mucho Macho Man – The Kathy Ritvo-trained Mucho Macho Man galloped 1 1/2m before visiting the starting gate Tuesday morning at Santa Anita.

Dean Reeves, who owns the 5yo with his wife, Patti, was on hand to observe the morning activity. The Atlanta contractor spent a relaxing morning around Barn 126 but confessed that his nerves will get the better of him come Saturday, when Mucho Macho Man is slated to go to post in the Classic.

“One thing that has helped is that he’s won a Grade I race, so no matter what happens in this race, he’s still a champion,” Reeves said.

Mucho Macho Man, who finished a close second behind Fort Larned in last year’s Classic at Santa Anita, captured an elusive Grade I victory with a 4 ½-length romp in the Awesome Again at Santa Anita on Sept. 28.

“We were somewhat relieved that you can check that box and he gets up there where people can say he’s a Grade I winner,” Reeves said. “You can’t take that away from him.”

Following his half-length loss in the 2012 Classic, Mucho Macho Man had a rough start to his 2013 campaign, which was compromised by a virus that kept him from competition for several months. Following a pair of third-place finishes after returning to action in June, the son of Macho Uno ran the race of his productive career in the Awesome Again.

“Seeing him come back and win the Awesome Again showed us he was back and can move forward to the Breeders’ Cup,” Reeves said. “That was just so special. I was so happy for Mucho Macho Man and Kathy and her staff, because he was so deserving. Everybody had worked so hard and been so dedicated that it was really nice to notch the Grade I, because he’s a Grade I champion.”

Reeves said he put his trust in Ritvo and stable manager Finn Green, believing that their patience would allow Mucho Macho Man to bounce back and reclaim his form.

“If you’d meet me in my other job, you’d say I was the most impatient man in the world. I am very impatient. I’ve got to get moving and get something done. Horse racing has really taught me patience, and it’s just the opposite of the way I am,” he said.  “Kathy and Finn have guided me through the patience part of racing. They’ve showed me the virtues of being patient.”

Planteur – see European report

Will Take Charge – It was a routine jog and gallop in the D. Wayne Lukas fashion for the Travers Stakes Will Take Charge winner on Tuesday.

The 3yo son of Unbridled’s Song drew post position 10 for the race, which wasn’t terribly pleasing to Lukas, and was posted at odds of 12-1 on the morning line.  Will Take Charge will be ridden by jockey Luis Saez.

Breeders' Cup News & Notes - Oct. 28

Photo: Sue Kawczynski/Eclipse Sportswire

Kiaran McLaughlin – Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin reported that both Dancing House and Sky Painter will run in the Juvenile Fillies Turf on Friday.  Dancing House had been pre-entered in the Juvenile Fillies as well. 

“Both fillies have been training fantastic and are doing well,” McLaughlin said.  “We cross-entered Dancing House in the Juvenile Fillies because she finished third in the Spinaway on dirt, but her turf race in the Ms. Grillo was a better effort on all of the speed figures that we use.”


Jockey Luis Saez will keep the mount on Sky Painter while jockey Mike Smith will ride Dancing House for the first time in the Breeders’ Cup.


“Irad (Ortiz Jr.) didn’t do anything wrong, but he didn’t have a lot going on (at the Breeders’ Cup,)” McLaughlin said.  “Obviously Mike Smith is a great Hall of Fame rider and we’re happy to get him.”


Dance Card will enter the Filly & Mare Sprint off only one start in 2013, a third-place finish in Belmont’s Gallant Bloom.  Ankle chips kept Dance Card out of action the first half of the season.


“She’s doing great and luckily we got a prep under her belt at the perfect time six weeks ago,” McLaughlin said.  “She can be tricky at times training so we’re hoping she likes it out there.”


Dancing House, Sky Painter and Dance Card departed their training base in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., on Sunday morning for California.      


Todd Pletcher – Recent Kelso Stakes winner Graydar will not make the Breeders’ Cup because of a quarter crack in his left front hoof.  Graydar had been pre-entered in the Classic and Dirt Mile.


“We’re disappointed,” trainer Todd Pletcher said.  “Graydar had been training extremely well and I thought we got the perfect comeback effort from him in the Kelso.”


Pletcher added that he will point Graydar to Aqueduct’s Cigar Mile on Nov. 30.


Pletcher on Monday shipped all of his Breeders’ Cup starters – the two exceptions being Palace Maliceand Havana – on a flight from New York to California.  That flight departed Long Island MacArthur Airport at approximately 10:30 a.m.  As for Palace Malice and Havana, both colts are scheduled to fly to California on Tuesday morning.


Pletcher also has chosen the Turf Sprint for Capo Bastone instead of the Xpressbet Sprint.  Capo Bastone, pre-entered in both races, never has competed on turf.


“We had him on the turf a few times in his training this summer and he appeared to like it a lot,” Pletcher said.  “We’re hopeful he’ll show up and come with that big late run of his.”


Pletcher also has opted for the Juvenile instead of the Juvenile Turf for recent Breeders’ Futurity winner We Miss Artie. 


“We Miss Artie has trained exceptional over the dirt so we’re going to take a shot in the Juvenile,” said Pletcher, who has won two of the last three runnings of the Juvenile with Uncle Mo and Shanghai Bobby.  “He was training super on the dirt at Saratoga and has not missed a beat since getting out to Santa Anita.  It’s a tough spot obviously, but the colt could not be doing any better.”


Pletcher also has the unbeaten Champagne winner Havana for the Juvenile.


Manny Azpurua said that the Rontos Racing Stable’s Street Girl would run in Distaff rather than the Filly & Mare Sprint for which she also had been pre-entered.


“She was third in a Grade I in her last race and she worked well before coming here,” Azpurua said as he watched Street Girl jog on the main track at Santa Anita for the first time after arriving Sunday.


Street Girl worked a best of 33 4f in 46 at Gulfstream Park on Friday (Oct. 25). Both of her victories have come in two-turn races on dirt and in her most recent start finished third, beaten two lengths, behind Distaff rival Close Hatches in the Cotillion Stakes at Parx.

  
Ron Ellis –  Centralintelligence worked 4f in 48 3/5 breezing for the Dirt Mile Monday at Betfair Hollywood Park to the satisfaction of the trainer.  “He went just easy,” Ellis said after the drill under exercise rider Baltazar Contreras. 


“He had his ears up all the way. He couldn't have looked any better.”   Ellis said the 5yo chestnut gelding will be shipped to Santa Anita Tuesday along with Teddy's Promise, the latter for the Filly & Mare Sprint.


Patrick Biancone – Diamond Bachelor was entered in the Juvenile for his first start on dirt. The colt, whose three starts have all been on turf, had also been pre-entered in the Juvenile Turf.  “The owners decided,” explained Biancone. “They're Americans. They want to run on dirt.”  Diamond Bachelor, who has two firsts and a second in his three grass starts, is owned by Mr. & Mrs. Kin Hui of Los Angeles in partnership with Susan Magnier of Ireland and Robert Trussell of Kentucky. What does Biancone expect from the War Front colt in his dirt debut? “I think I'll have to wait until Saturday for that answer,” Biancone said.


Peter Eurton – Dance With Fate was entered in the Juvenile. Runner-up in both the Del Mar Futurity and FrontRunner Stakes at Santa Anita, the Two Step Salsa colt was also pre-entered in the Juvenile Turf.  


“We preferred entering him on dirt,” Eurton explained. “He has more points there.”  He has never run on grass. “I think he's going to be a very good turf horse,” Eurton added. “I was covering my options. Why not?”


Ian Wilkes – Janis Whitham’s defending Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Fort Larned worked 5f over a fast track at Churchill Downs Monday morning in 1:01 4/5 with jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. up.


Fractional splits for Fort Larned's work were 12 3/5, 25 1/5, 37 3/5 and out 6f in 1:14 4/5 while working on his own before the morning renovation break.


“Today was not to squeeze the lemon dry - it was to get the horse coming off the track wanting to do more,” trainer Ian Wilkes told the Churchill Downs publicity office. “Today he walked off like he was wanting to do more, so I was happy.”


“He worked great this morning,” Hernandez said. “He went just like Ian wanted him to. He cruised right around there to five-eighths and it looks like he's going into the Classic like he did last year.”


Wilkes, who has a 6:40 a.m. flight to Los Angeles on Tuesday, said Fort Larned may walk the shedrow in the morning with his flight to California scheduled “around lunch time,” Wilkes said.


Also working in Kentucky Monday morning was Wesley Ward’s Judy the Beauty, who is entered in the Filly & Mare Sprint. With Kent Desormeaux up and working on Polytrack at Keeneland, Judy the Beauty worked 5f in 59 4/5 in company. Judy the Beauty started three lengths in back of her workmate and finished 12 in front while posting fractions of 12, 23 3/5, 35 3/5 and out 6f in 1:13 3/5.


Mike Hushion – Trainer Mike Hushion’s Breeders’ Cup starters, Artemis Agrotera and The Lumber Guy, are flying from New York to California on a Tuesday morning flight from Long Island MacArthur Airport.


On Sunday, Artemis Agrotera breezed 5f over Belmont’s training track in 1:01 3/5 while The Lumber Guy breezed 4f in 48 2/5.  Both horses walked Monday during training.


“I feel like we’re bringing over a very live horse in the Juvenile Fillies,” Hushion said of Artemis Agrotera.  “I am a little worried about her getting a bit too anxious before the race because she can be very high strung, but she’s trained great since the Frizette.  Her work yesterday was perfect.”


The Lumber Guy finished second in the Sprint a year ago.  The colt, however, was a flat seventh last out in Belmont’s Vosburgh.


“I couldn’t have been more wrong about the Vosburgh,” Hushion said.  “I loved the way he went into that race and he just didn’t fire.  All I can say is he is nice and sound, his feet have been good and he’s trained as good as ever.  We’ve changed his training over the last couple of weeks by really taking it easy with him and not letting him breeze as fast.  I’m hoping that makes a difference.”


Charles LoPresti – Morton Fink’s Wise Dan, the reigning Horse of the Year in North America and defending champion in the Mile, galloped on the training track at Keeneland Monday morning and will have a similar exercise tomorrow morning according to trainer Charles LoPresti.


“He will train in the morning and then van to Louisville to catch the plane to California,” LoPresti said.


LoPresti is scheduled to leave Lexington at 7 in the morning and be at Santa Anita when Wise Dan arrives.

  
Mark Casse – Trainer Mark Casse will run Conquest Stables’ undefeated My Conquestadory in the Juvenile Fillies Turf, which was first preference in the pre-entries, instead of the Juvenile Fillies.


“The more and more we thought about it, I think she has a real shot to win that race and still have the chance to be the champion 2-year-old filly,” the five-time Sovereign Award-winning trainer said. “The only other reason is that we haven’t had enough time to train her properly on dirt. So we’re going to dance with the one that brought us.”


Laugh Track, who was pre-entered in the Dirt Mile and the Sprint, will line up in the gate for the Sprint.


“He’s not going to get in the (Dirt) Mile,” Casse said. “Three-quarters (of a mile) may be too short for him, but if we get a hot pace they may collapse up front and that might set it up for him. I couldn’t be happier with the way he’s coming up to the race.”


Bill Mott – Royal Delta, Close Hatches, Emollient and Ron the Greek departed Long Island MacArthur Airport at approximately 10:30 a.m. Eastern, Monday.  Flat Out, who had been training in Saratoga, arrived in California on Sunday.  


Buff Bradley – Defending Filly & Mare Sprint champion Groupie Doll jogged 6f and gallop 1 1/4m in her first day at the track after working 4f in 47 2/5 on Saturday at Santa Anita under exercise rider Jada Schlenk.


“It is always good when her rider is happy and pleased,” said trainer Buff Bradley, who indicated Groupie Doll would follow a similar schedule the rest of the week. “She won’t go to the gate, but we may take her to the paddock one or two times.”

           
Steve Asmussen – Trainer Steve Asmussen sent two of his three Breeders’ Cup runners out for workouts Monday morning at Santa Anita. Justin Phillip, looking to improve on his fifth-place effort in the Sprint last year, worked 4f in 48 3/5, while 2012 Turf Sprint runner-up Unbridled’s Note covered the same distance in 49 1/5 in preparation for his second try at a Breeders’ Cup victory.


“They were both good works,” said assistant trainer Steve Blasi, who was handling the barn duties while Asmussen was handling the entering duties.


Untapable, Asmussen’s Juvenile Fillies runner, was sent to the track one day before her male stablemates and breezed 4f in 49 Sunday.


Peter Miller – Reneesgotzip will run in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint, said trainer Peter Miller Monday morning from his stable at Hollywood Park. The 4yo daughter of City Zip was pre-entered in  the Turf Sprint and the Sprint.


She will be making her second appearance in the Turf Sprint, having finished third in 2012.


Mike Pender – Trainer Mike Pender confirmed Monday morning that his two Breeders' Cup horses, pre-entered in the Turf Sprint and the Mile, would go in the Turf Sprint. 


“It was an easy decision for Boat Trip, who has run well before on the (downhill) course at Santa Anita,” Pender said.  “Jeranimo's best distance is probably a mile and an eighth, but there isn't a mile and an eighth Breeders' Cup race. So it kind of forced my hand to run in a less-than-ideal spot. But we're going to give it a shot and see what happens.

 “They're both natural closers. Boat Trip will probably sit a little closer to the pace than Jeranimo.  It being a Breeders' Cup race, you always know there will be sufficient pace to run at.”


Bob Baffert – Trainer Bob Baffert worked five of his eight Breeders’ Cup horses Monday morning at Santa Anita. He liked all the moves. 


His quintet registered their drills like this: Game On Dude – 5f in 59; Paynter – 5f in 1:00; Book Review– 4f in 48 3/5; Secret Circle – 4f in 46 4/5; Tap It Rich – 4f in 48 1/5.


Baffert sent likely Classic favorite Game On Dude out at 9 a.m. and gave him in target horse in front in Amazing Hearted. The “Dude” spotted his barnmate five lengths on the backside, but by the eighth-pole he was even. From there he zoomed through the lane and into the turn for Martin Garcia to win the competition by many.


“It’s so quiet out there right now that I wanted to give him a target and get him focused,” Baffert said.  “It was a terrific work for him and I’m glad we’re done with that.


“He’s a totally different horse this year. He’s not the same horse that ran here last year – thank God. He’s bigger, he’s filled out and he’s a happy horse. I’ve spaced his races out and that’s allowed me to keep his weight on.”


Paynter, also with Garcia, went through his drill at 9:20. He was accompanied by the 3yo stakes winner Flashback, who started a length or so behind him and stayed there on the outside throughout the exercise. Paynter finished up still a length ahead.


“He was a little rusty,” Baffert said of his other Classic starter. “But he’s doing great now. I think he’ll be right there Saturday.”


Tap It Rich made his 4f move on his own at about 9:15. Rider Rafael Bejarano was in the saddle for the Juvenile starter. Secret Circle zipped along on his own for jockey Garcia.


Baffert nodded in approval for both drills, but Garcia put an exclamation point on the Secret Circle work.  “He’s so fast,” Garcia said. “He’s like Speedy Gonzalez!”


D. Wayne Lukas – The Hall of Fame trainer wrapped up serious preparation for All Cash on Monday with a 4f workout in 49 2/5. The 2yo son of English Channel is set to run in the Juvenile Turf.


The final Euorpean contingent from the powerful Ballydoyle stable is due in Monday night at Los Angeles International airport at around 9:45. They include Breeders’ Cup Classic hope Declaration of War,Magician (Turf), Christoforo Colombo (Mile), Giovanni Boldini and Wilshire Boulevard (Juvenile Turf).


Godolphin’s Outstrip, the first English horse to arrive at Santa Anita and clear quarantine went out onto the training track at 8:45 a.m. with his work rider Wille Ravetto in the saddle, jogging for a couple of laps before having a steady canter around one lap of the main track.


The other English horses that arrived Saturday evening are expected to be out on the track first thing Tuesday morning and will include, Planteur (Classic), The Fugue (Turf), Dank (Filly & Mare Turf),Olympic Glory (Mile), along with the juveniles Al Thakhira, Chriselliam, Outstrip and Shamshon. London Bridge (Marathon) completes the nine-horse challenge from England.


The French team consisting of Romantica (Filly & Mare Turf) and Vorda (Juvenile Fillies Turf) also cleared quarantine Monday morning and experienced the Santa Anita surroundings for the first time. Romantica jogged one circuit of the training track before returning to the barn while Vorda went twice round also at a jog.


Richard Mandella – The Hall of Fame trainer brought his Distaff starter Beholder to the racetrack at 7:45 and had exercise rider David Nuesch put her though a 4f drill. Mandella caught her in 49 2/5, but the clockers gave her an official time of 49 1/5. She did it with her ears up.


“That’s it; we’re all set now,” Mandella said. “I didn’t want her to do too much today and it was fine. I may have to put her back on the track tomorrow; we’ll see. It (the Distaff) is a heckuva race and she’s going to have to be at her best for it.”
