The flashy workouts are finished for She Feels Pretty, who will start as the leading domestic hope in the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Del Mar on Nov. 1. She Feels Pretty breezed a half-mile in 48 seconds at Keeneland on Oct. 10, with “a huge gallop-out”, trainer Cherie DeVaux said. On Friday at Keeneland, She Feels Pretty worked the same distance in a more leisurely 49 seconds.

With the majority of this year's Breeders' Cup contenders sticking close to home for their final works, there has been very little to report at Del Mar since the racetrack opened on Monday. The action did pick up Friday with four potential Breeders' Cup starters turning in their final major preps over a fast track on an overcast and somewhat dank morning.

Robert Falcone Jr. described training Gratefully as a “catch-22.” The filly has not yet run on turf, but in two races that were moved to wet dirt at Saratoga and Aqueduct, she won in style and remains unbeaten. Good problems still require solutions, and Falcone was honest to admit that he wasn't sure of the way forward. For now, he's trusting his original instinct. If the fates allow, the 3-year-old filly will finally get a chance on the grass in the eighth race on Sunday at Aqueduct, an $88,000 allowance.
