Tripoli, hindered by a wide trip and a moderate pace when fourth by 8 ¼ lengths in the Grade 1 Awesome Again Stakes at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, Calif., on Oct. 2, could improve Saturday in the $6 million Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Classic at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Del Mar, Calif., where he won the “Win and You're In” TVG Pacific Classic by a length and a quarter at 6-1 on Aug. 21

“He's trained well,” John Sadler said of the four-year-old Kitten's Joy colt owned by principal client Hronis Racing, LLC. “He worked at 6:30 this morning at Santa Anita under heavy fog and he'll go to Del Mar very early Monday.

“The rider (Juan Leyva) had him in 59 (for five furlongs) and out in (one) 11 and four (for six furlongs). He has a little watch that he can tap during the work.

“There will be no recorded times for anything that worked at 6:30. It was as heavy a fog as anything we've seen.”

Santa Anita clockers did give Tripoli an official five-furlong clocking of :59 flat.

As for strategy in the Classic, Sadler said with a chuckle,

“It doesn't look like there will be any lack of pace.”
