Also on Thursday, Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) contender White Abarrio jogged over the Santa Anita main track. Trained by Richard Dutrow Jr., the Whitney Stakes (G1) winner last worked Sept. 20 at Santa Anita. As for when he’ll return to the tab, assistant Chip Dutrow said Thursday morning “we’ll let him tell us.”
In other Breeders’ Cup news, four horses on the grounds trained by Steve Asmussen—Echo Zulu , Clairiere , Gunite , and Society —all tack walked, according to assistant Scott Blasi.
