 The Aidan O'Brien string begins its gallop from the top of the stretch. |
Tuesday morning was mostly cloudy until around 9am for the morning works at Del Mar, with temperatures in the low 60's. Today was much busier than Monday since all horses have to be on the grounds now. There were 12 timed works for Breeders' Cup horses this morning (all of which were Japanese-trained), eight of which appear below. The European horses have cleared quarantine and were all out today. The post position draw was conducted Monday afternoon, so check out all the entries, post positions, and morning line odds here.
Here are photos for 71 of the horses on the track Tuesday morning. Only Classic horses are repeated, so the rest are all new. Click the small picture to see a larger version.
Arthur's Ride (Classic) galloped 1 1/4 miles under exercise rider Damian Hinds. Trainer Bill Mott said, “The post (12) is fine. It’s a long run down to the turn, it’s like running in the (Kentucky) Derby. I don’t think it will be a problem; it could be an advantage. I haven’t really looked at the others yet because, unfortunately, I was watching the Yankees game last night.”
|
City of Troy (Classic) was part of the 11 horse team trained by Aidan O'Brien, who was on hand to watch the team go through their paces. After walking down and back the 7f chute, the team walked and jogged one clockwise lap of the track before having an easy gallop of the same mile circuit. O'Brien said, “He was always bred to be a 7 furlong-plus horse, but he would have been able to run at Ascot as a 2-year-old and you have to be fast to do that, so he was obviously different all the time. It was a matter of getting experience in him at 2, so we’d have him ready to rock at 3. The fractions are fierce here and that’s the way racing is and that’s the way it has to be.”
|
Fierceness (Classic) galloped 1 mile under exercise rider Danny Wright. Trainer Todd Pletcher said, “He needs to break alertly then it's kind of up to Johnny to decide how quickly they're going and where he wants to position himself. He's shown in the Florida Derby that he can win on the lead. And he's shown in those other races that he doesn’t have to have the lead. It's really going to be up to Johnny to determine how they run.”
|
Forever Young (Classic) worked 5f in 1:04 in company with stablemate Ecoro Azel (outside). Trainer Yoshito Yahagi said, “Difficult draw in stall 1 but he is in much better form compared to how he was back in May. He is a different horse I would say. He breezed well, and I am happy what he did and his workout time.”
|
Highland Falls (Classic) galloped over the Del Mar track for the first time after arriving Monday from Kentucky. Trainer Brad Cox said, “He looks great this morning. He’s a horse that based on pedigree, is bred to get better as he gets older and I think we’re seeing that now. He handled a mile and a quarter at Saratoga on a demanding track (when winning the Jockey Club Gold Cup), so we are hopeful here.”
|
Mixto (Classic) jogged 1 mile under exercise rider Tony Romero. Trainer Doug O'Neill said, “That was the plan (to train up to the Classic after winning the Pacific Classic on Aug. 31). With (Hot Rod) Charlie here in 2021, he didn’t have that much time off.”
|
Newgate (Classic) jogged 1 mile under exercise rider Umberto Gomez then schooled in the paddock. Trainer Bob Baffert said, “He looked happy today and was full of energy.” (On the draw, 13 post) “I would like to be a little closer, but as always, the break is most important. Frankie will work something out.”
|
Next (Classic) galloped for the first time since arriving from Kentucky Monday. He is expected to gallop again Wednesday.
|
Pyrenees (Classic) galloped 1 3/8 miles in first visit to the track after shipping in Monday. Trainer Cherie DeVaux said, “He galloped well and happy, and that’s all we can ask for. Nothing bothers him.”
|
Rattle N Roll (Classic) jogged a turn and galloped a turn under exercise rider Danny Ramsey. Trainer Ken McPeek said, “He traveled OK here. There are expectations for her (Thorpedo Anna, the morning-line favorite in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff). He has none (is on the AE list). There is nothing to worry about there. Totally different ends of the spectrum.”
|
Sierra Leone (Classic) had an easy gallop and will do more of the same Wednesday. Trainer Chad Brown said, “All my horses galloped today, even the Kentucky horses (Carl Spackler and Chili Flag) that arrived yesterday, because they all had the same actual breeze day on Saturday. Everyone went fine and I’m really pleased with what I saw today. Sierra Leone continues to look great.”
