ARCADIA, Calif. — Final entries will be taken Sunday and post positions drawn for the Breeders' Cup World Championships on Friday and Saturday at Santa Anita, which doesn't give trainer Dale Romans much time to decide which race his 3-year-old colt Dullahan will run in: the $3 million Breeders' Cup Turf, or the $5 million Classic.
Dullahan, who worked five furlongs over Santa Anita's dirt main track yesterday in 1:00, is a synthetic track specialist. All three of his career wins came in Grade 1 stakes on Polytrack — the Breeders' Futurity and Blue Grass at Keeneland, and the Pacific Classic at Del Mar — but he is 0-for-6, with two thirds, on dirt. The stretch-running son of Even the Score has two seconds and a third from four starts on turf.
"They wouldn't change [the Classic] to Poly for me, so there's nothing I can do about it," Romans said. "We'll see what happens.
"I thought he went really good [in the workout]. We'll talk to [Tammy Fox, Dullahan's exercise rider] and Jerry [Crawford, Dullahan's owner, who races as Donegal Racing]. It'll be Jerry's decision. We'll have it settled by [entry time]."
The big gun in Romans' stable, 2011 Preakness winner and 2012 Met Mile winner Shackleford, worked five furlongs in 1:00 in preparation for the Dirt Mile, a race he finished second in last year. On Oct. 20, Shackleford drilled five furlongs in :59 3/5 at Santa Anita.
Game On Dude, the likely favorite for the Classic, is scheduled to work this morning for trainer Bob Baffert.
There will be a two-part post draw for the Breeders' Cup today, televised live by HRTV. Thirteen of the 15 races will be drawn beginning at 4 p.m. ET. Then the Ladies' Classic (to be run Friday) and the Classic (run on Saturday) will be drawn at 7 p.m. ET.
