ELMONT, N.Y. – Diversify, the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup winner, will be pre-entered Monday for the $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic at Del Mar on Nov. 4, but trainer Rick Violette stopped short of committing him to the race.

On Saturday at Belmont Park, Diversify worked five furlongs in 1:01.88 over the main track. Daily Racing Form timed Diversify in splits of 12.41 seconds, 24.63, and 36.45, with a final quarter of 25.43. Exercise rider Rodney Paine told Violette the horse felt the same to him as he did in his two works prior to the Gold Cup.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Stellar Wind posted the final major workout of her career Saturday at Santa Anita as she prepares for the final start of her career in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff on Nov. 3 at Del Mar.

Stellar Wind, 3 for 3 this year in Grade 1 races and the presumptive Distaff favorite, worked seven furlongs under jockey Victor Espinoza at 6:40 a.m. She broke off two lengths behind workmate Shenandoah Queen, dropped about four lengths behind her rival on the turn, and rolled past in the stretch to win the work by about four lengths.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Mr. Crow, a disappointing sixth in the Grade 1 Vosburgh Invitational, worked a half-mile in 48.40 seconds Friday morning over the Belmont Park training track in preparation for a start in next Saturday’s Grade 3, $200,000 Bold Ruler Handicap.

Mr. Crow had impressed with two open-length victories during the Saratoga meet, but was beaten 13 1/2 lengths by fellow 3-year-old Takaful in the Vosburgh.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Elate, the multiple Grade 1-winning 3-year-old filly, worked five furlongs in 1:00.92 on Friday morning over the Oklahoma training track in Saratoga in preparation for her start in the $3 million Breeders’ Cup Distaff on Nov. 3 at Del Mar.

Working by herself following the second renovation break, Elate was timed by Saratoga clocker David Norton in splits of 12.96 seconds, 25.05, 36.97, and she came home in 23.95. Norton had her galloping out six furlongs in 1:14.12, while trainer Bill Mott had her out seven furlongs in 1:28.

ELMONT, N.Y. – El Deal, winner of the Grade 1 Alfred G. Vanderbilt at Saratoga and runner-up in the Grade 1 Vosburgh at Belmont Park, will miss the Breeders’ Cup Sprint due to a lesion in the suspensory of his left foreleg, trainer Jorge Navarro said Friday.

Navarro said El Deal didn’t come out of an Oct. 14 workout at Monmouth Park the way he would have liked and after several tests, the lesion was found. Navarro said it’s not a major issue, but he wasn’t going to take a chance of running him in the Breeders’ Cup.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Montauk, who rolled to an impressive 11 1/4-length debut win Oct. 7 at Belmont, will not contest the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, trainer Todd Pletcher said Friday.

After discussing it with the owners of Montauk – a group that includes Robert LaPenta, Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, and Twin Creeks Racing – Pletcher said shipping cross-country to take on a horse like Bolt d’Oro, who is 3 for 3 including two wins at Del Mar, where the Breeders’ Cup will be run, wasn’t prudent.

Jockey Tracy Hebert is approaching a milestone of 4,000 career Thoroughbred wins in North America, and he could hit that mark this week at his Zia Park base in Hobbs, N.M.

Hebert had 3,992 wins heading into the Sunday program. He has one mount on a card of mostly Quarter Horse races. Hebert then has five mounts at the track Monday and has been named to ride six horses Tuesday.

California trainer Doug O’Neill hopes to have five runners in Breeders’ Cup races at Del Mar on Nov. 3-4.

O’Neill said Thursday that his team will include the 3-year-old Pavel in the $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on Nov. 4. On the same day, Frank Conversation is scheduled to run in the BC Turf, Piedi Bianchi is a candidate for the Juvenile Fillies, and Guns Loaded is being pointed to the Turf Sprint.

O’Neill acknowledged that Guns Loaded may not gain a berth in what could easily be an oversubscribed race. The Turf Sprint will have a maximum of 14 starters.

Major Cabbie, easy winner of a maiden race for 2-year-olds Sept. 29, is out of training until the middle of 2018 because of an injury, trainer Dan Hendricks said.

Hendricks said the setback was detected recently. Major Cabbie worked a half-mile in 51.40 seconds Oct. 12.

“He’s got a problem,” Hendricks said. “He’ll be out. It’s a shame. He can run, too.”

Owned by K.B. Sareen, Major Cabbie was purchased for $260,000 at a sale of 2-year-olds in training this year. On Sept. 29, Major Cabbie won a one-mile race by 6 1/4 lengths in his second start.

ARCADIA, Calif. – The 10-year-old gelding Royal F J has run his last race.

On Thursday at Santa Anita, Royal F J finished seventh in a $6,250 claimer as a 4-1 shot, beaten 9 1/2 lengths. He won 9 of 102 starts and earned $568,150 in a career that began with trainer Jack Carava at Santa Anita in 2009. Carava was Royal F J’s final trainer.

“I always said if he ran a bad race without an excuse, that would be it,” Carava said Friday. “He didn’t fire.

“I’ve got several offers to give him a good home. He’s a cool horse.”
