It was a light morning in terms of Breeders' Cup workers at Santa Anita Thursday. The only horses pre-entered for next week's Breeders' Cup to record timed workouts were Senor Buscador (Classic), Didia (Filly & Mare Turf), and Lane Way (Turf Sprint).
Senor Buscador worked a bullet five furlongs in company under jockey Geovanni Franco, who has the call in the $6 million Classic on Nov. 4. Trained by Todd Fincher, Senor Buscador completed the work in 59.40 seconds. It was the fastest of 19 moves at the distance.
“He went really well, he dragged me around there,” Franco said.
A 5-year-old Mineshaft horse, Senor Buscador won the G2 San Diego Handicap this summer at Del Mar. He exits a third-place finish in the G1 Awesome Again here Sept. 30.
Didia worked five furlongs in 1:01.80 for trainer Ignacio Correas IV. It was her second drill since winning the G2 Rodeo Drive here Oct. 7.
Lane Way worked four furlongs in a bullet 47.0 seconds. It was the fastest of 29 moves at the distance. Winner of the G2 Eddie D here Sept. 30, Lane Way is pre-entered in the Turf Sprint for trainer Richard Mandella but did not make the main body of the 12-horse field. He would need multiple withdrawals to compete.
Among those scheduled to work Friday is Classic contender White Abarrio, whose work slated for Monday was postponed. White Abarrio most recently won the G1 Whitney Aug. 5 at Saratoga for trainer Richard Dutrow.
The 40th Breeders' Cup is set for Nov. 3-4 at Santa Anita. The post-position draw for all 14 races will be held this Monday starting at 4:45 Pacific at the nearby Pasadena Civic Center. It will be televised on FanDuel TV and streamed on Breederscup.com.
