Sarawak Rim Works for Correas Ahead of Breeders’ Cup

[Wandering Eyes]

JCB Stables' Sarawak Rim (Arg) (Remote {GB}) will likely be the final horse trainer Ignacio Correas IV saddles before retiring to his native Argentina in mid-November when she goes postward in the Nov. 1 GI Breeders' Cup Distaff. The 4-year-old filly–beaten just once in five trips to the post in Argentina–worked four furlongs from the gate in :48.60 (6/22) Wednesday at Keeneland.

Sarawak Rim won the May 1 G1 Gran Premio Criadores at Hipodromo Argentino De Palermo in her most recent race and she has been with Correas at Keeneland since July.

“She's got talent and she has surprised me every time she has worked,” said Correas, who won the Breeders' Cup Distaff at Santa Anita in 2019 with Blue Prize (Arg). “She's going to be really good next year, but it will be for somebody else.”

Correas has two more works scheduled for Sarawak Rim at Keeneland before shipping Oct. 23 to Del Mar where she will put in her final work for the Breeders' Cup.

Colebrook Farms' Simply in Front (Summer Front) likely earned a trip to Del Mar with her win in the GI First Lady Stakes at Keeneland Saturday, but trainer Eddie Kenneally said he is still deciding for which race.

“We are looking at Del Mar,” Kenneally said Wednesday morning. “It might be the GIII Goldikova or the GI Breeders' Cup Mile. The Goldikova would be the most logical spot.”

Simply in Front would face off against the boys in the $2-million Breeders' Cup Mile, while the $300,000 Goldikova is for fillies and mares. Both races are Nov. 1.
