ARCADIA, Calif. - Amazombie worked six furlongs in 1:13.20 on Saturday, moving closer to a two-race fall campaign designed to defend his title as the nation’s champion sprinter.
Amazombie is scheduled to start in the $250,000 Santa Anita Sprint Championship on Oct. 6 followed by the $1.5 million Breeders’ Cup Sprint on Nov. 3. Both races are over six furlongs. In 2011, Amazombie won the same races. The Santa Anita Sprint Championship was then known as the Ancient Title Stakes. The BC Sprint was run at Churchill Downs.
The winner of the Santa Anita Sprint Championship receives a fees-paid berth to the BC Sprint as part of the Breeders’ Cup’s Win and You’re In program.
Trainer and co-owner Bill Spawr timed Amazombie in 1:13 in Saturday’s workout, including the first three furlongs in 37.60 seconds and the final three furlongs in 35.40 seconds. Spawr timed Amazombie galloping out seven furlongs in 1:26.20.
“The way he did it is what was good,” Spawr said. “He looks great physically.
“The track is really slow today. The boys said that it’s really dead.”
The 3-year-old filly Reneesgotzip, the winner of two stakes this year, including the Grade 2 Santa Ynez Stakes, is expected to be part of the field for the Santa Anita Sprint Championship.
Best Bets
DRINK OR SINK went too fast on the lead last time before fading on the turf at Tampa, and should be less aggressive here with blinkers off. Olguin was aboard for his good fall races on the Poly, and should have him closing at a square price in his second start of the year. GOOD BETTER BEST finished up the track behind two next-out winners when he tried the dirt for the first time March 30 at Gulfstream. He hasn't faced this easy a field in a while, and is no stranger to filling out the exactor.
