AI thought that trip [to and from California] might knock her back a little, but they had the parade of Breeders= Cup champions here at Churchill last weekend and she was just feeling so good. We took her to the track to train her just to let her down a little. I never even thought about the Cigar Mile until that weekend.@ Prior to her 4 1/2-length Breeders= Cup score, Groupie Doll recorded four straight victories: the Apr. 12 GI Madison S. at Keeneland; May 5 GI Humana Distaff S. at Churchill Downs; Sept. 8 GII Presque Isle Masters S. and Oct. 6 GII TCA S. at Keeneland. In her sole previous start against males, the homebred was three-quarters of a length behind Boys At Tosconova (Officer) going a mile in a Gulfstream optional claimer Jan. 27.

ASince the layoff over the summer [between the Humana Distaff and Presque Isle Masters], she=s only had three starts and she=s won all three of them impressively. She=ll get a vacation after this regardless, but she=s got something left. We want to run her when she=s ready to run, and she=s ready right now. The one-turn mile is good for her and I feel she can be competitive in a race like this.@ In This Issue California Dreamin’ 60 Broad St., Suite 100 Red Bank, NJ 07701 Still going strong at the ripe (732) 747-8060 (732) 747-8955 (fax) ago of 6, California Memory (Highest Honor {Fr}) produced a www.thoroughbreddailynews.com www.thetdn.com smart turn of foot late to annex Sunday’s G2 Longines Jockey Barry Weisbord, co-publisher Club Cup at Sha Tin.
