On both coasts, preparations for the GI Breeders' Cup Classic continued as leading contenders from the West took to the track, and hopefuls from the East began finalizing travel plans. Scheduled to walk Saturday morning after the trio put in Friday works at Saratoga, Todd Pletcher-trainee Antiquarian (Preservationist) will ship to Del Mar Sunday in advance of the World Championships along with stablemates Fierceness (City of Light) and Mindframe (Constitution). “I don't think [Antiquarian is] a particularly difficult horse to ride,” said Pletcher. “I think he needs a strong rider. He's tactical enough. He can use his speed to get a good position in the race and but he can be one that you kind of got to pedal on a little bit, too. “If you saw his races in the Suburban and the Blame he was getting there. He just sort of ran out of time. It looked like in both of those races at the sixteenth pole that he was going to be beaten by several lengths, and then really accelerated the last 100 yards to almost get there. I think as he's physically matured and mentally matured, he's gotten better and better and perhaps a little easier to ride as well.” Spotted working four furlongs over Saratoga's Oklahoma dirt training track, Sierra Leone (Gun Runner) was clocked in :48.74 (16/49) with Flavien prat in the saddle for trainer Chad Brown. “It was exceptional,” Brown said. “He's doing great and this work was as good or better than he's worked all year. He's coming into the race like last year–very well–and he's been working great over the past few weeks. I didn't think it was possible to build off the last two works, but he somehow managed to even work a touch better today. He's really in good form.” Another headliner out at Saratoga was Sovereignty (Into Mischief) for Bill Mott and the titan Godolphin operation. The 3-year-old galloped 1 1/2-miles with exercise rider Jimmy Quispe in the irons, and is scheduled to either gallop or work in the coming days. “He is good,” said Mott. “He was a little anxious the first day or two [after arriving from Saratoga Springs], wanting to get to the track. They get a little anxious early in the morning, wanting to go. Other than that, he is fine and he's doing good around the barn. He will work Sunday or Monday. He was a little stronger today. He was pretty strong the second time by. He probably needed one of those.” Out west, Baeza (McKinzie) rolled through five furlongs at Santa Anita Park in 1:01.60 (31/48) for trainer John Shirreffs while Journalism (Curlin) galloped a mile under Luis Cacares. Trainer Michael McCarthy said Saturday that a breeze with new rider Jose Ortiz was on the books, but timing would be fluid. “It seems like he's training as well as we could be asking for,” said McCarthy. “Plenty of spacing between the Pacific Classic and the Breeders' Cup Classic. Thought he had a very good summer here at Del Mar. Seems to be enjoying his time down here.” Bob Baffert's Nevada Beach (Omaha Beach) looks to continue his rise through the ranks with his anticipated tilt at the Classic, and was out Saturday breezing six panels in 1:12.20 (3/6) at Santa Anita Park. He is scheduled to ship to Del Mar Sunday or Monday. “He went nice, he is not a great work horse, but he went well,” Baffert said. “He has never run against this kind of competition, but I have always been very high on him. I don't think the distance is going to be a problem for him.” The Japanese hopeful Forever Young (Jpn) (Real Steel {Jpn}) took a one-and-a-half-lap canter around Del Mar having cleared quarantine. and has been given a positive prognosis for both physical and mental condition. “He has recovered well from his travel to Del Mar,” said Yukihiko Araki, stable representative for trainer Yoshito Yahagi. “He is in good form both mentally and physically. We appreciate all the support we are getting here as Yahagi Stable.” Distaff Fillies and Mares in Fine Form Ahead of Big Weekend Several of the top contenders for the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff put in their penultimate moves on the East Coast ahead of anticipated travel in the coming days while others are already en route to California. Likely one of the favorites, Nitrogen (Medaglia d'Oro) is officially on the way to Del Mar after her Friday work at Churchill Downs. With all major preps behind her, trainer Mark Casse says his stable star will arrive at Del Mar with no heavy works on the books. “Her work yesterday (4f in 48 4/5 at Churchill) was very good,” said Casse. “She's usually not much of a work horse. I gave her a little company yesterday and she worked great. I'm very happy with her.” “She flies today [Saturday'. She won't do too much when she gets to Del Mar. She'll just enjoy the scenery and do some light work. Her major work is behind her.” At Churchill Downs, trainer Brendan Walsh sent Gin Gin (Hightail) and Clicquot (Quality Road) to the track for their final preparations in advance of shipping to California on Monday. The former just had an easy gallop two days after her final Distaff breeze and continues to impress the conditioner. “She had a great work,” said Walsh. “Luis [Saez] worked her and he loved her. He thought she went great. She's in good shape, too. She and Clicquot have earned their way into the Distaff and they're both doing well. We look forward to it and hopefully one of them will come good and maybe get the job done.” The aforementioned stablemate cruised four panels in :48 flat (5/177) and has shown all the right signs. “She worked great. It was a nice work, but she's a good worker and she's doing it easy enough. I couldn't be happier, so hopefully everything goes well between now and Saturday. [They] will ship early on Monday morning [along with fellow Walsh-trained Imaginationthelady], so she will arrive around 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon there, I think.” Scottish Lassie (McKinzie) worked Saturday at Belmont Park, posting five furlongs in 1:01 flat (2/23) for trainer Jorge Abreu while Bob Baffert's Seismic Beauty (Uncle Mo) also breezed five in :59.20 (3/48) at Santa Anita Park. The latter is expected to ship to Del Mar Sunday or Monday. Other anticipated shippers to Del Mar for Sunday include Gun Song (Gun Runner) for trainer Mark Hening from Belmont Park and Majestic Oops (Majestic Harbor) for trainer Dan Ward from Monmouth Park.

yes i guess he will come and maybe kingman won't. Who knows . Thats not to say kingman can't win if he came,he could beat leap to fame with a good draw and quick beginning,but how would any punter know whether kingman even begins ok. That would all be a guess. The TAB was accepting bets on kingman last week and now,like you say,people who bet on him may well have wasted their money and anyone betting against leap to fame may have done so believing he wouldn't come. And then you factor in the really poor odds on offer for all the horses in the market. -

In just his second career race, Gallivant (Into Mischief–Fancy Dress Party, by Munnings) used his late kick to roll late and net the Bowman Mill Stakes on closing weekend at Keeneland. With 6-5 favorite Spun D M C (Spun to Run) setting the pace, Gallivant was on the hunt entering the lane. The colt geared up and went right past his target to secure the first win of his career. The final running time was 1:11.17. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1. O/B-LNJ Foxwoods (KY); T-Ben Colebrook.

A horse by the name of Sovereignty (Into Mischief) showed up for last year's GIII Street Sense Stakes as a maiden and departed as one of the leaders of the division with a remarkable come-from-behind rally to break his maiden. It waits to be seen whether any of the seven juvenile signed on for Sunday's renewal can achieve similar heights, but–as always in this business–hope springs eternal. The single, most solid piece of form in the field belongs to Universe (Global Campaign), whose trainer Ken McPeek sent out King Fury (Curlin) to annex the event in 2020 when contested as a listed race. The bay has been dispatched at longshot odds in each of his two racetrack appearances, first belying a quote of 17-1 when graduating by 4 1/2 lengths going seven furlongs at Saratoga Aug. 30 ahead of a running-on third at 18-1 behind Napoleon Solo (Liam's Map) in the GI Champagne Stakes at Aqueduct Oct. 4. He tries a two-turn route for the first time on Sunday. Universe's sire is a half-brother to Bolt d'Oro, whose son Incredibolt breaks from the outside stall while also stretching out in distance. A debut fourth sprinting six panels at Ellis Park Aug. 22, the dark bay colt broke his maiden by two solid lengths going this track's one-turn mile Sept. 28 and is in the thick of this with further improvement. I Did I Did (Curlin) and the McPeek-conditioned Very Connected (Connect) own the distinction of having winning form over Sunday's course and distance, the former having validated even-money favoritism in the slop on Sept. 14, while Very Connected needed the length of the Churchill stretch to break his duck in similar underfoot conditions on Sept. 21. Sophomore Fillies Take Swing at Autumn Miss A field of nine 3-year-old fillies is set to face the starter for the GIII Autumn Miss Stakes at Santa Anita, a one-mile heat that lacks a standout performer. Slick (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}) broke her maiden over track and trip last Dec. 26, was a comebacking third to Velocity (Nyquist) June 20 and was beaten two lengths into sixth by that rival in the GI Del Mar Oaks Aug. 16. The gray returned to winning ways with a one-length entry-level allowance score going a mile here on Sept. 26 and is an obvious threat with a repeat run. Take A Breath (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}) won three of her seven starts in England for trainer William Haggas, including a victory over males in Doncaster handicap company this past May. Set a tall task when pitched into the deep end in the Del Mar Oaks on U.S. debut, she ran home well from the back to be fourth in a race that also provided next-out GI QE II Challenge Cup heroine Lush Lips (GB) (Ten Sovereigns {Ire}). She ran into a roadblock when making her move in the Sept. 28 allowance won by Slick and trailed in, but is clearly capable in a spot like this. Innovative (Complexity) denied pacesetting Lee's Baby Girl (Malibu Moon) by a neck with Warming (Global Campaign) a further half-length behind in the GIII John C. Harris Stakes down the hill at Santa Anita Sept. 27 and all three stretch out to the mile for this.
