Description:
One day after nearly two dozen Breeders' Cup World Championships pre-entrants worked at Santa Anita Park, the Oct. 26 work tab was much smaller, with a handful of horses going through their final preps.
Among the most prominent workers was Kaleem Shah's Bayern, who worked five furlongs in 1:00 in preparation for the Nov. 1 Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I). The 3-year-old colt by Offlee Wild trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert galloped out six furlongs in 1:12 3/5. Bayern is coming off a 5 3/4-length triumph in the Sept. 20 Pennsylvania Derby (gr. II) at Parx Racing that improved his record to 5-1-1 in nine starts and increased his bankroll to $1,639,600.
Fast Anna lived up to his name as the Medaglia d'Oro colt worked five furlongs in :57. The 3-year-old will be making his fifth career start in the Expressbet Sprint (gr. I).
The Oct. 26 main track works over a fast track were:
—American Pharoah (Sentient Jet Juvenile), 5 furlongs, 1:00
—Angela Renee (14 Hands Winery Juvenile Fillies), 4 furlongs, :51 1/5
—Bayern (Classic), 5 furlongs, 1:00
—Fast Anna (Expressbet Sprint), 5 furlongs, :57
—Little Alexis (DraftKings Filly & Mare Sprint), 4 furlongs, :45 2/5
—Lucky Player (Sentient Jet Juvenile), 4 furlongs, :50 2/5
—Majestic Harbor (Classic), 4 furlongs, :48 3/5
—Sweet Swap (Turf Sprint), 6 furlongs, 1:12 4/5
—Tapiture (Dirt Mile). 4 furlongs, :50 2/5
