Big Changes has first work since Unbridled victory

Big Changes had his first work on Saturday since winning the $60,000 Unbridled on Sept. 2 at Louisiana Downs, breezing a half-mile in 49.60 seconds at his base of Churchill Downs.

Big Changes won the Unbridled by a neck to stay unbeaten in four starts this year. He also won stakes at Evangeline Downs in July and Mountaineer in August, and launched his season in June with an optional-claiming victory at Indiana Grand.

Trainer Brad Cox said Monday that Big Changes breezed well and that he would like to run him back in about a month.

“We don’t really have anything picked out for him,” he said.

Big Changes was off for seven months before he started his season.

“Last year, he kind of tailed off,” Cox said. “He was due a break and deserved a break. We gave it to him, and he responded well.”

Big Changes is a 6-year-old by Midshipman owned by Steve Landers of Little Rock, Ark.
