ELMONT, N.Y. – In 2015, trainer Dale Romans and owner Dennis Albaugh finished third in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile with Brody’s Cause. Last year, that same trainer-owner combination finished second in the Juvenile with Not This Time. “The pattern says we win this year,” Romans said. “You got to think positive.” And you’ve got to have the horse. Well, Romans and Albaugh may have multiple horses for the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile on Nov. 4 at Del Mar. As of Wednesday, the Romans-Albaugh tandem had three horses with Juvenile aspirations – Dak Attack, Free Drop Billy, and Hollywood Star. Dak Attack, a son of Ghostzapper, is 2 for 2 with a victory in the Ellis Park Juvenile. Free Drop Billy, a son of Union Rags, won his debut at Churchill Downs and finished second in both the Grade 3 Sanford and Grade 1 Hopeful at Saratoga. Hollywood Star, a son of Malibu Moon, won his debut at Churchill Downs, finished second in the Grade 2 Saratoga Special, and last Saturday was second to The Tabulator in the Grade 3 Iroquois. With those three races under his belt, Hollywood Star will now train up to the Juvenile. “He didn’t have the smoothest trip” in the Iroquois, Romans said. “He learned a lot. He’s just going to get better and better. There’s quite a bit of time for him to improve between now and the Breeders’ Cup. He’s awfully talented. If he puts it all together, which could be between now and then, he’s going to be a force to be reckoned with.” Romans is still mapping out plans for Dak Attack and Free Drop Billy. Both are under consideration for the Grade 1 Breeders’ Futurity at Keeneland on Oct. 7, with one possibly going to the Grade 1 Champagne at Belmont Park the same day. Both of those are Win and You’re In races and award the winner a berth in the Juvenile with their entry and starter fees paid as well as a travel stipend. The Tabulator earned a fees-paid berth in the Juvenile by winning the Iroquois. Trained by Larry Rivelli for Carolyn Wilson, The Tabulator, a son of Dialed In, is 3 for 3, with victories over three different surfaces and at three different distances. “He ran a hell of a race first time two turns,” said Rivelli, adding that The Tabulator was chasing quick early fractions. “He was probably at the end of the line for what he was able to do at this point. We went from four [furlongs] to 6 1/2 to a mile and a sixteenth. I’d always thought he’d run long, but you never know till you do it.” Rivelli said The Tabulator will train up to the Juvenile, with most of the work being done at Arlington Park. Rivelli said he would like to get The Tabulator to Del Mar in time for one work over the surface. :: Breeders’ Cup Challenge: Results, replays, charts, and more :: Breeders' Cup PP packages: Get PPs, betting strategies, DRF+ Pro access, and more  With the Breeders’ Cup being held at Del Mar for the first time, it’s only natural to look to horses who have done well over that track as the potential favorite for the race. Bolt d’Oro, a son of Medaglia d’Oro, went 2 for 2 at Del Mar this summer, including a three-quarter-length victory in the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity on Sept. 4. Bolt d’Oro returned to the work tab last Sunday at Santa Anita, breezing five furlongs in 1:00.40 in preparation for the Grade 1, $300,000 FrontRunner Stakes on Sept. 30, another Win and You’re In race. “We gave him a couple of weeks off from the win in the Futurity, just trying to get him ready for the FrontRunner and then on to the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile,” trainer Mick Ruis said. “I haven’t pushed him really hard yet.” Trainer Bob Baffert, a three-time winner of the Juvenile, trains Del Mar Futurity runner-up Zatter and the maiden winners St. Patrick’s Day – a full brother to Triple Crown winner American Pharoah – and Solomini. Baffert said this week he had not yet decided where those three horses will run next as they prepare for a potential start in the Juvenile. D. Wayne Lukas, a five-time Juvenile winner, is pointing Hopeful winner Sporting Chance to the Juvenile. Initially, Lukas was planning to try Sporting Chance in the Breeders’ Futurity first, but now he is toying with the idea of training him into the Juvenile. :: BREEDERS’ CUP 2017: See DRF’s top contenders
