Breeders' Cup Classic
Lone Sailor opts for Breeders' Cup Classic instead of Dirt Mile
Barbara D. Livingston Lone Sailor, shown training last month at Churchill Downs, was eighth in the Kentucky Derby.
Lone Sailor will run in the Breeders' Cup Classic on Nov. 3 at Churchill Downs, trainer Tom Amoss said Saturday, a decision that has major implications regarding the prospective field.
As a result, Seeking the Soul remains the bubble horse, ranked 15th, assuming that City of Light - as expected - goes in the Dirt Mile. City of Light was pre-entered in both races, with the Dirt Mile preferred.
The Classic field has a maximum of 14 runners. Collected needs two defections to get in. Entries are taken Monday, and posts drawn that afternoon.
Lone Sailor also was pre-entered in the Dirt Mile, but the Classic was the first preference.
