Champion West Coast (Flatter) returned to the worktab at Del Mar Tuesday morning for the first time since finishing second in the G1 Dubai World Cup Mar. 31, covering a half-mile in :48.80 under Dana Barnes (11/28).
“Hopefully he will be ready for the GI Breeders' Cup Classic if all goes well with his training,” Hall of Famer Bob Baffert said Wednesday afternoon. “I am very happy with him. It is going to be tight, but we could also run in the [GI] Clark [H. at Churchill Downs Nov. 23].”
On the worktab for Baffert Wednesday were GI Del Mar Futurity-bound 'TDN Rising Star' Roadster (Quality Road), who worked five panels in 1:00.20 (6/33); and 'TDN Rising Star' Game Winner (Candy Ride {Arg}), who breezed a best-of-33 five furlongs in :59.60.
