Catching Up with the Breeders’ Cup’s 2020 Juvenile Turf Sprint/2021 Turf Sprint Winner Golden Pal

“He's one of my all-time favorites,” said trainer Wesley Ward. “He was an awesome horse. Extremely talented, super quick, and agile: that was really his biggest attribute. When the first jump opened, he was explosive. He would open up effortlessly. He pulled the heart away from the other horses a little bit.

“He was a joy to train, a highly intelligent horse. I really appreciated the time at the barn with him every day, because based on his accomplishments I knew that our time would be limited with him and he'd be highly sought after as a stallion. As beautiful as he is and as fast as he was, I knew the breeders would take to him.”

The brilliantly fast Golden Pal stood his first season in 2023.

Golden Pal (2018 bay horse, Uncle Mo–Lady Shipman, by Midshipman)

Lifetime record: GISW-U.S., GSP-Eng, 13-8-2-0, $1,825,131

White Abarrio: Track Vets Disallowed Last Week’s Breeze, But Whitney Winner Resumes Work Schedule Monday

Whitney winner White Abarrio has been in Southern California preparing for the Breeders' Cup Classic since mid-September, but his training plans were interrupted last week, reports the Daily Racing Form.

White Abarrio arrived at Santa Anita in mid-September and worked Sept. 20, a five-furlong drill completed in 1:00.80. The 4-year-old son of Race Day was scheduled to breeze again last week, but track veterinarians were unsatisfied with his condition and did not allow the work to go forward.

Over the weekend, farrier Ian McKinlay worked on White Abarrio; trainer Rick Dutrow, Jr. did not elaborate on last week's cancelation, but said he supported the vets' decision.

On Monday, White Abarrio was allowed to breeze and covered five furlongs in 1:01.60 under jockey Emily Ellingwood.

“It looks like he went good to me,” Dutrow told DRF. “It was a good call, if there was anything. To be safe, we gave him a day or two to come around. He did.”
