American Pharoah works for BC Juvenile

ARCADIA, Calif. – American Pharoah, trainer Bob Baffert’s leading 2-year-old, worked six furlongs in 1:11.80 on Tuesday at Santa Anita, preparing for the BC Juvenile on Nov. 1.

Owned by Zayat Stables, American Pharoah won two Grade 1 races in September – the Del Mar Futurity over seven furlongs Sept. 3 and the FrontRunner Stakes over 1 1/16 miles on Sept. 27.

“He worked very nice,” Baffert said. “We’re ready to run.”

The undercard of the Oct. 31 program includes the $100,000 Damascus Stakes over seven furlongs. Baffert has two candidates in the 3-year-olds Can the Man and Indianapolis, both of whom worked Tuesday.

Can the Man, who won the Grade 3 Affirmed Stakes at Santa Anita in June, worked six furlongs in 1:13.60. Indianapolis, unbeaten in three starts, worked six furlongs in 1:14. Indianapolis won the minor San Pedro Stakes last January.
