Mine That Bird works out at Santa Anita September 30th, 2009
Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird has completed his first workout at Santa Anita, galloping five furlongs in preparation for the $350,000 Goodwood Stakes on Oct 10.
Jockey Joe Talamo was aboard Mine That Bird on Tuesday morning in place of regular rider Calvin Borel. The 3-year-old gelding was timed in 1:01.80 for the distance over the synthetic surface.
It went just right, trainer Chip Woolley said. I really like the way hes striding out on this racetrack. It really seems really kind and hes getting a good hold of it.
Woolley said Mine That Birds next scheduled workout would be on Oct. 6.
The winner of the Goodwood Stakes earns an automatic berth in the $5 million Breeders Cup Classic on Nov. 7.
