Full Serrano, Baeza, Brant Among Breeders’ Cup Workers at Santa Anita

[Wandering Eyes]

Full Serrano (Arg) (Full Mast), working for an expected title defense in the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, GI Pennsylvania Derby winner Baeza (McKinzie), unbeaten 2-year-old 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Brant (Gun Runner) and potential Breeders' Cup favorites Seismic Beauty (Uncle Mo) and Ag Bullet (Twirling Candy) were among the Breeders' Cup hopefuls on the worktab Saturday at Santa Anita.

Full Serrano worked for the second time since a runner-up effort in the GI Goodwood S. going 1 1/8 miles Sept. 27 at Santa Anita. He was timed for five furlongs in :59.40 (2/48).

“He's right where we want him two weeks out,” trainer John Sadler said. “We were just looking to keep him crisp. He's already ready. Just trying to keep him nice and sharp.”

The GI Breeders' Cup Classic-bound Baeza worked six furlongs in 1:14.20 (5/6) with jockey Hector Berrios aboard.

Brant (Juvenile), winner of the GI Del Mar Futurity, worked six furlongs in 1:11.80 (2/6) for trainer Bob Baffert as did stablemates Litmus Test (Nyquist) (Juvenile) (1:12.40) and Imagination (Into Mischief)  (Sprint) (1:11.60).

Seismic Beauty (Distaff) (:59.60), a sharp winner of the GI Clement L. Hirsch S., and Splendora (Audible) (Filly & Mare Sprint) (:58.20) each worked five furlongs for Baffert.

Ag Bullet (Turf Sprint) worked five furlongs on the synthetic training track in :59.60 for trainer Richard Baltas.

Trainer Richard Mandella worked both 'Rising Star' Tamara (Bolt d'Oro) and Kopion (Omaha Beach). Tamara, targeting the Filly & Mare Sprint, worked five furlongs in 1:01 (19/48). Kopion, who is a candidate for either the seven-furlong Filly & Mare Sprint or six-furlong Sprint against males, worked six furlongs in 1:12 (3/6).
