Hazit disappointed in a turf work on Oct. 19, and bounced back with a better dirt work on Friday morning at Belmont Park. He will now be strongly considered for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Del Mar on Nov. 4. :: BREEDERS’ CUP 2017: Pre-entries, odds, comments, and more Hazit, fifth in the Grade 1 Champagne after a debut win at Saratoga, was pre-entered for both the Juvenile Turf and Juvenile. Hazit is 12-deep on the preference list for the Juvenile Turf and is unlikely to get into that field. The Juvenile only drew 13 pre-entries for a maximum field of 14, so everybody who wants to run will be permitted to. Under John Velazquez, Hazit started about three-quarters of a length behind workmate El Dulce. He was a bit eager and caught El Dulce at the quarter pole. The two ran together through a final furlong of 24.18. Hazit galloped out five furlongs in 1:02.73 and left El Dulce while continuing on through six furlongs in 1:16.66. “He seemed to do it easily, well in hand, galloped out nicely,” trainer Todd Pletcher said. “I think he put himself in play to at least have the discussion.” :: Breeders' Cup PP packages: Get PPs, betting strategies, DRF+ Pro access, and more
