LEXINGTON, Ky. – Edgar Morales is named to ride the entire Wednesday card at Keeneland and has plenty of mounts for the balance of the four-day stretch that ends the 17-day fall meet.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Trainer Jonathan Thomas wanted to see how Catholic Boy handles the Churchill Downs surface and give him a stamina-enhancing work two weeks out from the Breeders' Cup Classic, and it was thumbs up all around after the Travers winner breezed an easy five furlongs in 1:02.41 under the lights early Sunday morning.

After joining the 5,000-win club Saturday at Belmont Park, Javier Castellano hopped a plane and flew to Louisville that evening to be on hand when the racetrack opened for training at 5:30 a.m. to guide Catholic Boy through the important work.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Trainer Chad Brown is expected to pre-enter 11 horses on Monday in the two-day Breeders’ Cup event to be held Nov. 2-3 at Churchill Downs. On Sunday, led by potential race favorites Sistercharlie and Newspaperofrecord, nine of those horses put in workouts with seven of them at Belmont Park.

Sistercharlie, a three-time Grade 1 winner, breezed five furlongs in 1:00.78 over the good Belmont inner turf course. She worked inside of Uni, and got her last three furlongs in 34.85 seconds with a strong wind at the horses’ backs in the stretch.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Unbeaten in four starts, Catalina Cruiser will start as the expected favorite in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile at Churchill Downs on Nov. 3 with a growing reputation in the nation’s older horse division.

On Sunday, Catalina Cruiser had his most strenuous workout of October, a seven-furlong exercise in 1:26.60 at Santa Anita. Trainer John Sadler clocked the 4-year-old colt galloping out a mile in “1:39 and change.”

After a five-furlong workout next Saturday, Catalina Cruiser will be sent to Kentucky for the biggest race of his career.

Ninth Street became a stakes winner Saturday night when he rolled home by six lengths over Shotsoft in the $50,000 Jean Lafitte at Delta Downs. The race was one of two stakes on the card. Sir Genghis was a half-length winner of the $100,000 Gold Cup.

The Jean Lafitte was a seven-furlong race for 2-year-olds run around two turns.

Taylor’s Spirit will likely make her next start at Fair Grounds after winning the third stakes race of her young career Friday night in the $50,000 My Trusty Cat at Delta Downs. Trainer Scott Gelner said Taylor’s Spirit is a candidate for the $75,000 Letellier Memorial, a six-furlong race for 2-year-old fillies on Dec. 22.

Down the road, Gelner said Taylor’s Spirit could return to Delta for the $75,000 Take Charge Brandi over 7 1/2 furlongs on Jan. 4. He said she also could see stakes action at Oaklawn.

Shotgun Kowboy could make one more start at the Remington Park meet before gearing up for a campaign at Oaklawn in Hot Springs, Ark.

Trainer C.R. Trout said the millionaire, who won the $175,000 Oklahoma Classics Cup for the third time in his career Friday night, could run next in the $75,000 Jeffrey A. Hawk Memorial on Remington's closing-day card Dec. 16.

But the first order of business, said Trout, is a little break for Shotgun Kowboy.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.- It was a cool and at times misty morning, but that didn’t stop Monomoy Girl from providing a definite ray of sunshine during training hours Saturday at Churchill Downs.

Monomoy Girl was one of seven potential Breeders’ Cup starters to work over a racetrack labeled “good” from start to finish following some overnight showers and an additional drizzle or two that began shortly before the end of the first renovation break.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Led by Accelerate, the ante-post favorite for the $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on Nov. 3 at Churchill Downs, at least 12 horses with designs on Breeders’ Cup races worked Saturday morning at Santa Anita, each turning in what would be the penultimate drill for their respective races.

Accelerate went five furlongs in 59.80 seconds, a sharp work for a horse who is usually just an average work horse, and he did so without company.

Two weeks in advance of the Breeders' Cup Distaff, one of its major contenders, Monomoy Girl, turned in her penultimate and most serious work on Saturday at host track Churchill Downs.
