ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Grade 1 Woodbine Mile winner El Tormenta is on track to make his next start in the Grade 1, $2 million Breeders’ Cup Mile at Santa Anita on Nov. 2, and trainer Gail Cox said the 4-year-old son of Stormy Atlantic would do most of his prep work here at his home track. “I am more comfortable having his last breeze here,” she said. “If you get bad weather, we have the main track and we have dirt. He most often breezes on the dirt anyways. That’s the way I felt comfortable doing it.” El Tormenta won the Woodbine Mile on Sept. 14 and returned to the work tab on Oct. 3. He covered four furlongs in 48.20 seconds on the main track. “He came out of the race in really good shape,” Cox said. Cox said El Tormenta would ship from Woodbine to Belmont Park on Oct. 27, and fly out of New York to California on Oct. 28. She anticipated El Tormenta would breeze at least two more times at Woodbine, with some additional light work ahead of his travel. “He’ll breeze the Friday before he leaves and then he’ll jog or do something before the van,” she said. “I’ll still have four days [at Santa Anita] before he runs.” Cox said Eurico Da Silva would retain the mount for the Breeders’ Cup. Da Silva was aboard El Tormenta for the first time in the Woodbine Mile. “He rode him great and it’s a normal little two-turn turf course,” she said. “I don’t think there would be an advantage for a California rider to ride him, so that’s how we’re going.” The ride on El Tormenta in the Breeders’ Cup Mile could mark Da Silva’s final Breeders’ Cup start. Da Silva announced his plans to retire from racing at the conclusion of the Woodbine meet. Da Silva has had 10 Breeders’ Cup mounts, highlighted by a runner-up finish aboard Fatal Bullet in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Sprint in 2008.
