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.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Grade 1 winners Complexity and Wow Cat led a group of nine potential Breeders’ Cup starters who put in workouts Saturday morning at Belmont Park.

Despite some light early morning rain, the Belmont main track was fast and harrowed following the 8:45 a.m. renovation break.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Battle of Midway will not defend his title in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile on Nov. 3 at Churchill Downs, trainer Jerry Hollendorfer said Saturday morning at Santa Anita.

Instead, Battle of Midway will run in the $75,000 Comma to the Top Stakes at Santa Anita on Oct. 28. That race is a two-turn mile like last year's BC Dirt Mile at Del Mar. This year's Dirt Mile is around one turn.

But one turn or two, the decision, Hollendorfer said, was made to give Battle of Midway "in theory an easier race."

ELMONT, N.Y. – Audible, the Grade 1 Florida Derby winner and third-place finisher in the Kentucky Derby, could return to the races in the $200,000 Cherokee Run Stakes on Nov. 3 at Churchill Downs, trainer Todd Pletcher said Friday.

The Cherokee Run is restricted to 3-year-olds and run at seven furlongs.

“It might not be his ideal distance, but it might be a good starting point,” Pletcher said.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Pure Sensation, beaten one length in each of the past two runnings of the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint, will not run in that race this year, according to trainer Christophe Clement.

Clement said Pure Sensation did not come out of his third-place finish in the Belmont Turf Sprint Invitational as well as he would have liked, and the 7-year-old gelding will be given time off.

“If I want him to last, I need to look after him,” Clement said.

Clement is still planning to run Disco Partner in the Turf Sprint, provided the turf course is not soft.

ELMONT, N.Y. – It has been 17 years since Shug McGaughey has started a horse in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. If the Hall of Fame trainer was waiting for the right one to bring to that race, perhaps he’s found it in Code of Honor.

On Friday, Code of Honor gave the look of a major player in the $2 million Juvenile on Nov. 2 by working a sharp half-mile in 48.79 seconds over the Belmont Park main track. Not only did he get his final quarter in 23.54 seconds, Code of Honor galloped out five furlongs in 1:00.82 and six furlongs in 1:13.46.
