Miguel Clement sent out a pair of runners to earn automatic berths in Breeders' Cup races with wins at Aqueduct this past weekend and the trainer expects both to make the trip to Del Mar, but other conditioners were taking a wait-and-see approach before committing their Aqueduct stakes winners to championship weekend.The Clement-trained Bottas (Vekoma) took his record to two-for-two with a win in the GII Pilgrim Stakes Friday. That victory earned him a spot in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf.“Bottas was very impressive in just his second start,” said Clement. “He showed yet again another strong turn of foot. The plan is to go for the Breeders' Cup. We just have to get lucky with a good trip and a good draw. It is going to be a full field, sometimes it can be a bit of a messy race. Nevertheless, he is a talented horse. We will look after him and he will take care of the rest.”Stablemate Intricate Spirit (Complexity), meanwhile, earned a spot in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint with his win in the six-furlong GIII Futurity.“That was a very impressive performance,” Clement said of the Futurity win. “He showed a lot of speed. I don't think the cutback in distance [to five furlongs] at the Breeders' Cup will be a hindrance whatsoever. That is the plan. On to Del Mar with Joel Rosario. The connections are very excited. As long as the horse is doing well, we will go for it.”Clement said that Tawny Port (Pioneerof the Nile), a narrowly beaten second in the GI Canadian International Saturday at Woodbine, could make his next start in either the Nov. 1 GI Breeders' Cup Turf or the GII Red Smith Stakes the following day at Belmont at the Big A.Trainer Danny Gargan said that Iron Orchard (Authentic)'s participation in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies was “in flux” following her win in the GI Frizette Stakes Saturday.“She's won a Grade I now and she's had a tough campaign, so we'll figure it out,” Gargan said. “I thought a mile would be a tough task for her and she got it done by a nose. California is two turns… she's only an April foal.”Gold Square's Napoleon Solo (Liam's Map) earned an automatic berth to the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile with his 6 1/2-length victory in the GI Champagne Stakes Saturday.“We're going to leave it up to the horse and see how he's doing,” trainer Chad Summers said of a possible trip to Del Mar at the end of the month. “If he gives us any indication that he's taking a little while longer to get over the race–which he has every right to do having run as fast and hard as he did–then we'll skip it. If he comes out of it good and he's kicking down the walls and feeling good, we'll look to move forward.”Summers said that Gold Square's Dry Powder (Gun Runner), most recently a neck second to Clicquot in the GI Cotillion Stakes at Parx, remains under consideration for the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff.“She's going to breeze on Tuesday and we'll see,” Summers said. “We'll watch the GI Spinster today and see. I would like to go, but it's ultimately Mr. [Al] Gold's decision, and it's an expensive decision. If we go, we'll go early and there's a lot that goes into it.”Trainer Kelsey Danner said Ground Support (Army Mule), who earned a spot in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf with her win in the GII Miss Grillo Stakes Saturday, will return to her Turfway Park base Monday to train up to the Breeders' Cup.“She came out of the race in good order and looks good this morning,” Danner said. “She'll train at Turfway for a little bit, and we'll try to plan some logistics tomorrow before we ship out there.”Gary Barber and Peter Deutsch's Final Accord (War of Will) has trainer Mark Casse eyeing the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf after her win in the GIII Matron Stakes last Thursday.“She came out of it great,” Casse said. “We are going to aim for the Breeders' Cup. To me, in both of her races, it seemed like she wanted a little bit more ground, so I think the mile is perfect for her.”Meanwhile in upstate New York, Sierra Leone (Gun Runner) continued preparations for a defense of his GI Breeders' Cup Classic title with a four-furlong work in :48.88 (13/56) Saturday at Saratoga.Trainer Chad Brown called the work “super,” before adding that he is unsure if he will send Sierra Leone downstate to make his final preparations for the Breeders' Cup, as he did last year, or remain at Saratoga.“He's loving Saratoga right now,” Brown said.The post Connections Mull Breeders’ Cup Options for Aqueduct Stakes Winners appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
