The Quote: “It feels phenomenal to be here. This was our objective. As a 4-year-old, she ran one race and had some issues we had to take care of. We gave her time and did everything we needed to do, but we asked, ‘do we bring her back, or do we have her move on to the breeding shed?’ We chose to bring her back, in large part with George’s [Weaver] influence, and we came with the attitude that we wanted to do three things: we wanted to win a Grade 1, which we did, we wanted to pass the million-dollar mark, which we did, and we wanted to come to the Breeders’ Cup. Those were our objectives, and we hit all of them.” – owner and breeder John Ropes

The Quote: “I’m over here with Emily [Ellingwood], who was getting on White Abarrio when he won the Breeders’ Cup Classic, and my groom, Felix, has [been here]. They have that experience where they’ve gotten the blanket before, and me and Mr. [Al] Gold would like to join them. It’s the World Series of horse racing and it would mean a lot to us. We’re not here just to enjoy the waves of San Diego.” – trainer Chad Summers

The Quote: Scottish Lassie put in her final work for the Longines Distaff on Saturday at Belmont Park, breezing 5f in 1:01 under the guidance of Hall of Fame rider Joel Rosario.
“She’s doing good. She left a little feed last night, so I only walked her today, but she’ll go to the track tomorrow. We’ll give her one lap around. Her last breeze was beautiful and (Joel) Rosario was pretty pleased with her. She went 48 flat, 1:01, 1:24 – that’s more than enough. The week before, she did a lot with Manny (Franco), but she did it so easy. If she’s not ready now, she’s not ever going to be ready.” – Trainer Jorge Abreu

The Quote: First impression of Regaled after she joined barn in June following digital sale: “She is a different horse now. It took her a little while to develop for us. We took her to Saratoga and put blinkers on her for a work and that seemed to wake her up. We took her back to Kentucky for the Groupie Doll (at Ellis Park in which she was second to Impel) and she has moved forward after every race.” – T.C. Stevens, assistant to Whit Beckman
 
Horse: Sarawak Rim (ARG)

Morning Activity: Worked 4f in 48 4/5 on her own under Geovanny Vences
The Quote: Ignacio Correas IV has said Sarawak Rim has impressed him with every work since she joined the barn in July. Was he impressed Monday morning? “Oh yes. It was a beauty; perfectly done. I don’t know about anybody else, but it looked great to me.”
Horse: Scylla
Trainer: Bill Mott
Jockey: Junior Alvarado
Morning Activity: Worked 4f in 46 3/5 with Neil Poznansky up at 8 a.m.
Planned Activity: Will walk the shedrow
The Quote: “People might worry it’s too fast for her. It is fast, but she can do that. Neil thought she was doing it within herself. She was carrying him along; he didn’t ask her. He said he took another hold on her as she turned for home. If she had gone 49, I would have been pleased. We had the blinkers on her today, and I think she had her game face on when she went to the track. A lot of times galloping, she will mess with us a little bit, but she knows when it’s workday. She has put in works like that before so it’s not totally unusual. With her, it’s a sign she is doing good.” – Bill Mott
NOTE: Bill Mott will be available to the media at 9 a.m. and not before.
Horse: Seismic Beauty
Trainer: Bob Baffert
Jockey: Juan Hernandez
Morning Activity: Jogged at 6 a.m. after arriving from Santa Anita
Planned Activity: Will gallop at the same time
The Quote: Any concern about the layoff? She has not run since winning the Clement L. Hirsch Stakes (G1) at Del Mar Aug. 2. “No, not at all. She is a big mare, and she is very aggressive and easy to train. I don’t have to do a lot with her.
