LEXINGTON, Ky. – The last time Kathleen O’Connell saddled a horse for a major event in Kentucky, there wasn’t much hope of winning. Watch Me Out was 33-1 when he finished 18th in the 2011 Kentucky Derby for O’Connell, whose presence was widely noted primarily because only 13 female trainers had run a Derby horse before.

But when O’Connell leads over Lady Shipman for the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Keeneland on Saturday, things will be considerably different. Lady Shipman figures as a major contender, if not the outright favorite, in the 5 1/2-furlong race.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Woodbine will move Saturday’s first post time to 12:20 p.m. Eastern to better align post times with that day’s Breeders’ Cup card at Keeneland.

Woodbine Entertainment Group applied for the post-time change with the Ontario Racing Commission on Oct. 20, and although it hadn’t been approved as of Sunday, Jamie Martin, executive vice president of racing for WEG, said he didn’t anticipate any issues with the request.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Peggy O has quickly blown through her Ontario-sired conditions in four starts this year and will step up to stakes company for the first time in the $150,000 Jammed Lovely Stakes on Nov. 7 at Woodbine, trainer Catherine Day Phillips said. The seven-furlong sprint on Polytrack is for Ontario-bred 3-year-old fillies.

“That’s a logical spot for her,” she said. “She had two races quite close together, so this gives her a little more time to get organized for the Jammed Lovely.”

When apprentice jockey David Lopez fractured his back in a spill at Golden Gate Fields on June 6, he expected to be riding again in six weeks. But complications kept him sidelined for 4 1/2 months.

When he returned to riding when Golden Gate Fields opened last Thursday, Lopez was hoping to get one victory. Instead, he won with his first two mounts and ended the day with three winners from four mounts. Three of the winners were saddled by Billy Morey, who made four trips to the winner’s circle that day.

And Lopez hasn’t slowed down.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Lukes Alley, the 2014 Canadian champion older male, will try to win the Grade 2, $200,000 Autumn Stakes for the second year in a row Nov. 8, trainer Josie Carroll said.

The lightly raced 5-year-old won his first start of the season by 2 3/4 lengths on Sept. 12 in a 1 1/16-mile allowance race on Polytrack, earning a 93 Beyer Speed Figure. He tried to repeat in the Grade 3 Durham Cup Stakes on Oct. 3 but couldn’t hold off Golden Sabre in deep stretch.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Om is in position to become the first horse to sweep the three late-summer and autumn turf derbies in Southern California when he makes his next start Nov. 28 in the $300,000 Hollywood Derby at Del Mar.

Om won the Grade 2 Del Mar Derby on Sept. 6 and the Grade 2 Twilight Derby at Santa Anita on Saturday. The Grade 1 Hollywood Derby is run at 1 1/8 miles on turf, the same distance and surface as the other two races.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Last May, Dortmund was on a losing streak and exhausted. A win in the Santa Anita Derby in April was followed by a third in the Kentucky Derby and a fourth-place finish in the Preakness Stakes.

“He looked like he was overcooked,” trainer Bob Baffert said Sunday.

Dortmund was rested through the summer and returned to racing with a win Saturday in the minor Big Bear Stakes at Santa Anita. The race was a prep for the $500,000 Clark Handicap at Churchill Downs on Nov. 27.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Masochistic had his final workout at Santa Anita on Sunday in advance of the Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Keeneland next Saturday. The two-time stakes winner worked five furlongs in 58.40 seconds without company, the fastest of 50 recorded works at the distance.

“He looked like he did it easily,” trainer Ron Ellis said. “He was relaxed.”

With the final workout completed, Ellis has another prerace objective to achieve: He is banking on an outside post position for Masochistic in the BC Sprint. Post positions will be drawn on Monday.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Breeders' Cup Juvenile hopeful Tale of S’avall missed a workout scheduled for Sunday due to some tenderness in his frogs – the bottom part of the foot that acts like a shock absorber – trainer Barclay Tagg said Sunday morning.

Tagg said he still plans to take the horse to Keeneland on Monday with the idea of running in the Juvenile.

"His frogs are a little tender, but he's dead fit," Tagg said. "His last work was very good. Personally, I don't think [missing] this work will make a bit of difference to him."
