Winchester has been withdrawn from consideration for the Breeders’ Cup Turf, leaving the $3 million race with a prospective field of nine heading into entry day on Monday.
Trainer Christophe Clement did not immediately respond for a comment, but a Breeders’ Cup official confirmed Saturday afternoon that Winchester would not be entered in the Turf. Winchester worked a half-mile on turf Saturday at Belmont in 50.62 seconds. His most recent race, the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic on Oct. 1, was poor, with Winchester finishing last of five while beaten more than 19 lengths on a very wet Belmont grass course.
Six-year-old Winchester, bred and owned by Mrs. Bertram R. Firestone, finished fourth in the 2010 BC Turf and was sixth in the race’s 2008 edition.
Best Bets
MISCHIEF MAKER ran twice in mid-winter, showing ability in debut while caught wide early, followed by a third at 25-1 in overnight stake after breaking in a tangle; catches soft maiden special-weight field off a slate of Saratoga works. SUGAR BEACH is 0 for 13 after even try in muddy off-the-turfer eight days ago; second try in blinkers. SWEET KAKES takes blinkers off after giving futile chase to Sing Like a Bird in mud; something close to last two on fast footing give her money chances. ISLARAMA tries statebreds after willing finish behind 3-10 Jaggermama at Pimlico first time out.
