With the Breeder's Cup a week and a half away, the competition has been showing up and taking shape.
Pennsylvania Derby victor To Honor and Serve (pictured above) began warm-ups today at Churchill Downs- home to the Kentucky Derby, but also the more pressing Breeders Cup on November 4th. The competitive 3-year-old dug right in to the famous track, which was still moist from the previous week’s rains. Trainer Bill Mott felt the session went nothing short of "perfect."
Another BCC contender and odds favorite Uncle Mo also put in a serious workout on Sunday at Belmont Park’s training track. Check out video of the one and only Johnny Velazquez warming him up, as well as quick chats with trainer Todd Pletcher and owner Mike repole:
