ARCADIA, Calif. – Cambodia, the winner of two Grade 2 stakes for fillies and mares on turf at Del Mar this summer, was the most prominent of nine Breeders’ Cup candidates to work on turf at Santa Anita on Sunday.

Trained by Tom Proctor for Don Robinson, Cambodia worked five furlongs in 1:00 with temporary rails set midway out on the turf course. Cambodia has not raced since winning the John C. Mabee Stakes at 1 1/8 miles on turf Sept. 2. Earlier at the Del Mar summer meeting, Cambodia won the Yellow Ribbon Stakes.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Virtually all of the New York-based horses preparing for the Breeders’ Cup are based at Belmont Park. There is one, however, who is eight miles away, preparing in what is currently a tranquil environment at Aqueduct.

Lady Ivanka, the winner of the Grade 1 Spinaway at Saratoga on Sept. 2, has been based at Aqueduct since it reopened Sept. 18. On Sunday, Lady Ivanka had her fifth workout over the main track, breezing five furlongs in 1:01.06 for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar on Nov. 4.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Only a handful of potential Breeders’ Cup starters worked here Sunday on another picture-perfect morning, a list topped by turf specialists Annals of Time and War Flag, prepping for the Mile and Filly and Mare Turf.

Temperatures were in the high 40s at dawn but climbed higher by the time the Breeders’ Cup workout action began immediately after the renovation break on the main track before continuing over on the turf course several minutes later.

Heart to Heart is a nine-time graded stakes winner and millionaire, but one goal has been elusive. The horse will be seeking his first Grade 1 victory as a supplemental entry to the Breeders’ Cup Mile. 

“I’d be elated,” said trainer Brian Lynch after sending out Heart to Heart and Grade 1-winning stablemate Oscar Performance, bound for the Breeders’ Cup Turf, for solo works over the Keeneland turf course Sunday. “I’d lift the roof off that grandstand at Del Mar.”

ARCADIA, Calif. – Kentucky Oaks winner Abel Tasman worked seven furlongs from the gate in 1:25.60 on Sunday morning at Santa Anita and had to avoid a horse who went wrong just in front of her shortly after she broke from the gate.

She was one of more than a dozen horses who worked on the main track Sunday in preparation for the Breeders’ Cup on Nov. 3-4 at Del Mar. Abel Tasman is heading to the Distaff on Nov. 3, when she will face older runners.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Led by Collected, who will be trying to seize Horse of the Year and champion older male on dirt with a win in the Breeders’ Cup Classic, more than a dozen horses with Breeders’ Cup aspirations turned in key workouts on Saturday morning at Santa Anita for the Breeders’ Cup races Nov. 3-4 at Del Mar.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Nearing the end of a half-mile breeze aboard Firenze Fire on Saturday morning, jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. wanted to see how much horse he had underneath him. So, inside the sixteenth-pole, Ortiz squeezed his horse ever so slightly.

The response was what Ortiz was hoping for, and he quickly grabbed hold of the colt as he proceeded to gallop-out past the wire.

Imperial Hint turned in his final Parx workout for the Breeders’ Cup Sprint on Saturday morning and is scheduled to depart for Del Mar on Tuesday.

Imperial Hint has won five straight races, including the Smile Sprint at Gulfstream Park, a Win and You're In qualifier for the Breeders' Cup. He sped five furlongs in 59.58 seconds Saturday after an opening half-mile in 47.56. He galloped out in 1:13.77, with track clocker Scott Bakos terming the work "handily," meaning without urging.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Beware “the other horse” in Breeders’ Cup races where trainer Chad Brown will have multiple starters.

In the 34th running of the Breeders’ Cup on Nov. 3-4 at Del Mar, Brown is likely to have more than one starter in four Breeders’ Cup races: three in the Filly and Mare Turf, two in the Turf, two in the Filly and Mare Sprint, and two in the Juvenile Fillies Turf. In some cases, there will be a distinct difference in price between his starters. But don’t be surprised if the longer-priced runner outperforms the one fancied more by the bettors.
