DEL MAR, Calif. – After giving some thought to running Domestic Product in the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Sprint, the connections of the Grade 1-winning 3-year-old ultimately opted to enter their horse in the $1 million Dirt Mile. Chad Brown, who trains Domestic Product for Seth Klarman, believes the six furlongs of the Sprint would likely be too short for Domestic Product, especially over a track that favors speed types, whereas his horse would be coming from well off the pace. :: Get the inside scoop from the morning workouts with Breeders' Cup Clocker Reports from Mike Welsch and the DRF Clocker Team “When you have a horse you’re not quite sure can get up going six, needs everything to go right pace-wise, and you add in a track that might carry the speed a little more than the other tracks, ultimately that’s really the tell of where you should go,” Brown said Monday. Domestic Product has won his last two starts, the Grade 3 Dwyer going a mile and the Grade 1 H. Allen Jerkens at seven furlongs, around one turn. The Dirt Mile is run around two turns. :: BREEDERS’ CUP DIRT MILE: See DRF’s special section with top contenders, odds, comments, news, and more Domestic Product has twice won around two turns, including the Grade 3 Tampa Bay Derby earlier this year, when he beat No More Time, a horse Brown thinks highly of, at the wire. “If he had never won at two turns, that might change my view,” Brown said. “The Tampa Bay Derby was a pretty good race because there was no pace in the race and the horse he beat on the wire is a good horse.” :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
