Breeders’ Cup Winners on Santa Anita Work Tab Sunday

[Wandering Eyes]

A quartet of Breeders' Cup winners all recorded workouts Sunday at Santa Anita. GI Breeders' Cup F/M Sprint winner Splendora (Audible) and GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner Nysos (Nyquist) both worked for trainer Bob Baffert. Splendora drilled four furlongs in :49.00 (47/87) in her third work back since the Breeders' Cup. The 5-year-old is a candidate for the GII D. Wayne Lukas Stakes for fillies and mares going seven furlongs Feb. 7.

Nysos, working for the first time since winning the Dec. 28 GII Laffit Pincay Jr. Stakes, went four furlongs in :48.20 (25/87). He is being pointed to the Feb. 14 G1 Saudi Cup. That race is also the target of his stablemate and Laffit Pincay runner-up Nevada Beach (Omaha Beach), who worked four furlongs in :49.00 (47/87) Sunday.

Trainer John Sadler sent out GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies winner Super Corredora (Gun Runner) and Full Serrano (Arg) (Full Mast) to work at Santa Anita Sunday. In her second work of the year, Super Corredora went five furlongs in a bullet :59.20 (1/50). S and she is slated to make her sophomore bow in the one-mile Las Virgenes Stakes, which was pushed back a week to Feb. 8 following the postponement of the Santa Ynez Stakes earlier in the meet.

Full Serrano, the 2024 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner, worked six furlongs in 1:11.40 (1/2). Most recently fifth in the 2025 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, he is a candidate to run in either the Jan. 31 GII San Pasqual Stakes or in the GI Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park Jan. 24.

Also on the work tab Sunday, the Baffert-trained Kristofferson (Nyquist) went four furlongs in a bullet :46.40 (1/87) in his first published work since September. The $1.15-million Keeneland September yearling was a debut winner at Del Mar in August and has been off since finishing sixth in the Oct. 4 GI American Pharoah Stakes.
