Final preparations underway across the country for Breeders' Cup

Final preparations underway across the country for

Breeders' Cup

Numerous Breeders' Cup hopefuls put in their final major moves ahead of the

October 30-31 championship events at Keeneland, working from that Lexington,

Kentucky, track all the way to the West Coast at Santa Anita Park.

At Keeneland, trainer Todd Pletcher sent out a second wave of workers after

Thursday saw Liam's Map (Unbridled's Song), Got Lucky (A.P. Indy), Azar (Scat

Daddy) and Thrilled (Uncle Mo) record moves. His workers on Friday were Rachel's

Valentina (Bernardini), Dame Dorothy (Bernardini), Mshawish (Medaglia d'Oro),

Red Rifle (Giant's Causeway) and Sweet Whiskey (Old Fashioned).

A quartet of Breeders' Cup Juvenile workers took to the Keeneland main track on

Friday, while

Frivolous (Empire Maker) posted a "sensational" work for the Distaff on

Keeneland's busy Breeders' Cup worktab.

Frosted (Tapit) fired a bullet at the Greentree Training Center on Friday ahead

of his run in next Saturday's Breeders' Cup Classic, and

Nyquist (Uncle Mo) posted his final drill for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile right

before Santa Anita Park's races on Friday.

In other Breeders' Cup news,

Ageless (Successful Appeal) has run out of time to make the Turf Sprint (G1),

according to trainer Arnaud Delacour. The six-year-old mare just missed by three

parts of a length when fourth in last year's running, but sustained a deep cut

below her left hock while winning the October 9 Franklin County S. in her final

prep for a repeat run.
