ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Sam-Son Farm’s last starter in a Breeders’ Cup race was Grand Adventure, who finished 10th in the 2011 running of the BC Turf Sprint at Churchill Downs, but its red and gold silks could make an appearance at Santa Anita this year following El Tormenta’s win in Saturday’s Grade 1 Woodbine Mile. El Tormenta earned a 101 Beyer Speed Figure and secured a fees-paid berth in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Mile. Following the race, trainer Gail Cox and Michael Balaz, part of the Sam-Son ownership team, both said they would see how El Tormenta came out of the Woodbine Mile before making a final decision on the Breeders’ Cup. “That will be a decision that the higher-ups will have to make and everyone will have to get together, but I don’t see why not after running like that,” Balaz said. Cox added that she did not think the travel to California would be an issue for El Tormenta. “We’ll get him back to the barn and see how he is and everybody will talk about it,” she said. “He’s a very easy horse to deal with so he’d travel well.” If El Tormenta did make his way to the Breeders’ Cup, it would set up a rematch with Woodbine Mile runner-up Got Stormy. Trainer Mark Casse said following the Woodbine Mile that he was pleased with Got Stormy’s effort. “I was proud of her,” he said. “I was a little worried that they weren’t going to carry her far enough and that she’d make the lead. But the winner ran very well, showed a lot of guts down inside. I was proud of our filly. I’ve lost no respect for her and I feel extremely confident that we’ll be right there in the Breeders’ Cup.” El Tormenta sprung a 44-1 upset in the Woodbine Mile, the same odds as Quiet Resolve when he won what was then named the Atto Mile for Sam-Son Farm in 1999. The Woodbine Mile was El Tormenta’s first route race of the year after three consecutive troubled trips in sprints. Cox said the connections felt after each start this year that El Tormenta could stretch out, even after being considered a sprinter last season. “Last year, he had a totally different style of running,” she said. “This year he’s more relaxed. Every time he’s run we’ve thought he could go a bit farther. The mile didn’t concern me. I was happy with the extra distance.”
