Fame and Glory may bypass the Breeders’ Cup Turf, Aidan O’Brien revealed on Friday. CIting the “hard race” the 4-year-old son of Montjeu had in finishing fifth in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on Oct. 3, O’Brien said it was “quite possible” that Fame and Glory, winner of the Coronation Cup and Tattersalls Gold Cup, would not travel to Churchill Downs, but that there is a chance that he would remain in training next year.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Zenyatta was breathing easily when she walked off the Hollywood Park main track after breezing five furlongs in 1:02.60 on Thursday.

Jockey Mike Smith, sitting atop the undefeated winner of 19 races, beamed as he assessed the 6-year-old mare’s first workout since a win in the Grade Lady’s Secret Stakes on Oct. 2.

“I wanted to see her energy level and her action,” Smith said. “She was full of it. She did all the work in the last eighth. It was very handy.”

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Boys At Tosconova provided another reason to get excited about his showdown with Uncle Mo in next month’s $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Churchill Downs by working a sensational six furlongs in 1:10.90 on Thursday morning at Aqueduct.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – All of the prep races for the 2010 Breeders’ Cup are in the books. Well, almost all. The timing of the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup, set for Saturday at Keeneland, might be cutting it a bit close, but if Evening Jewel runs like she has all year long, she will still be able to meet up in Louisville with all the other Breeders’ Cup prospects who had their final preps in the last few weeks.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Redwood blew into town last month for the Grade 1 Northern Dancer Stakes, and ran like a favorite should, winning the 1 1/2-mile contest after a perfect trip. If he avoids a regressive “Euro-bounce” Saturday at Woodbine after shipping home to England and then back again in a four-week span, then he should be competitive in the 73rd running of the $2 million Canadian International.

MIAMI – Trainers Stanley Gold and Steve Standridge will use a similar strategy in an attempt to attain the same goal, completing a sweep of their respective divisions of the Florida Stallion Stakes with an undefeated 2-year-old on Saturday at Calder.

Goldikova will have company on her trip to Churchill Downs in search of a third Breeders’ Cup Mile title. On Wednesday her owners, the Wertheimer brothers, announced that they intend to run their Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud winner, Plumania, in either the Breeders’ Cup Turf or the Filly and Mare Turf.

Leading up to the Breeders' Cup, we take a look back at some key prep races and try to come up with some contenders.

Part 1:

Part 2:

Irish trainer Aidan O’Brien is planning on sending the promising Galileo filly Together as part of his Breeders’ Cup contingent, and she could be favored in the Grade 2 BC Juvenile Fillies Turf.

Together won her maiden at first asking July 15, in the Group 3 Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown. She subsequently finished third in the Group 2 Keeneland Debutante and fourth in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud, two stakes which were both run at the Curragh.

Trainer Ken McPeek wants to keep Harlan’s Ruby at 1 1/16 miles, so the filly who won her maiden on turf but ran second in last weekend’s Alcibiades on Polytrack at Keeneland will head to the Grade 1, $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies rather than the Juvenile Fillies Turf.

“She needs the mile and a sixteenth,” McPeek said of the distance of the Juvenile Fillies.
