John Sadler will keep Accelerate in the barn and be represented by Curlin Rules in Saturday’s Grade I, $300,000 Win and You’re In Awesome Again Stakes for three-year-olds and up at 1 1/8 miles.
The Awesome Again is one of five Grade I, $300,000 Win and You’re In events Saturday, giving the winner a fees-paid berth to its respective Breeders’ Cup races Nov. 3 & 4.
“Accelerate will train up to the Breeders’ Cup (Dirt Mile),” Sadler said. “Curlin Rules is an improving horse. He was second to Cupid in the Brubaker last out (Aug. 23), so he’s coming into the race the right way. He’s getting better.”
Bob Baffert was unconcerned about favored Cupid drawing the outside post in the Awesome Again. “He’s fine,” the trainer said.
The Awesome Again, race 10 of 11: Win the Space, Joe Talamo, 15-1; Dortmund, Gary Stevens, 8-1; Midnight Storm, Tyler Baze, 3-1; Curlin Rules, Flavien Prat, 6-1; Breaking Lucky, Mike Smith, 5-1; Mubtaahij, Drayden Van Dyke, 4-1; Donworth, Mario Gutierrez, 6-1; and Cupid, Rafael Bejarano, 2-1.
Win the Space also is entered in Sunday’s John Henry Turf Championship, in which trainer George Papaprodromou said the five-year-old son of Pulpit is more likely to run.
