Imperial Hint was second in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint last year behind winner Roy H, who will be back to defend his title in this year’s Sprint. Imperial Hint is out of Royal Hint, by Lahint and was bred in the Sunshine State by Bert Pilcher’s Shade Tree Thoroughbreds located in Reddick, Fla. Limousine Liberal –Trainer Ben Colebrook will send out two in this year's Breeders' Cup – veteran Limousine Liberal (Jose Ortiz) drew post eight of nine in the $2 million TwinSpires Sprint, while freshman Knicks Go (Albin Jimenez) will leave from post 10 in a 14-horse field in the $2 million Sentient Jet Juvenile (G1). “Everything is good with the draw,” Colebrook said. “No wor- ries there. Both are good draws. As long as we're in the starting gate, we're in the right place.” Seven-year-old Limousine Liberal heads into the Sprint with earnings exceeding $1.7 million, and nine wins from 25 starts. He was fifth, placed fourth, in the 2016 edition of the Sprint. He jogged Tuesday and was scheduled to gallop at Keeneland Wednesday before boarding a van for Louisville. Promises Fulfilled – The 3-year-old son of Shackleford returned to the track on Tuesday after breezing four furlongs on Sunday in :48 2/5 as he advances toward the Breeders’ Cup Sprint. “He came out of his work great and went out there and trained good today,” trainer Dale Romans said. Promises Fulfilled is seeking his fourth consecutive graded- stakes victory. He most recently won the Stoll Keenon Phoenix Stakes (G2) at Keeneland Oct. 5 Breeder David Jacobs’ connection to Promises Fulfilled’s fam- ily traces to 1991 when he purchased his great grand dam, Copelan’s Girl. Jacobs has three broodmares including Promises Fulfilled’s dam Marquee Delivery. She has an unusual distinction of coincidentally being the dam of Marquee Miss and Marquee Cal Gal who were first and second in the 2017 Holiday Inaugural Stakes at Turfway Park. Whitmore – The multiple stakes winning sprinter jogged one mile and galloped another mile under Laura Moquett, wife and assistant of trainer Ron Moquett. “He’s happy, so I’m happy,” Moquett said. “We’ll just do light stuff the rest of week to keep him happy. And, he’ll stand in the gate later this week just to remind him.” Whitmore drew post position one Monday and Moquett was fine with that. “It’s where he likes to be,” he said. “If you look at his races, he likes to be on the inside and always seems to find the rail.” Breeders’ Cup Classic Axelrod – Tuesday morning brought a jogging assignment for trainer Michael McCarthy’s Classic prospect, with exercise rider Nikki Diodoro taking him once around Churchill Downs’ mile oval. Discreet Lover – Owner-trainer Uriah St. Lewis and the 5- year-old Florida-bred Discreet Lover both got their first taste of the Churchill Downs training routine Tuesday.
