Spawr, as have many other trainers based at Santa Anita, voiced his concern about the racetrack being much slower than usual this fall. Bob Baffert, whose Coil and Capital Account finished on-two in the Sprint Championship, kept Coil at home for the Sprint Championship to get him a start over the track prior to Breeders’ Cup Day rather than sending him to New York to run the previous weekend in either the Vosburgh or Kelso.
“The times were really slow on Saturday,” Spawr said.
The final time of the Sprint Championship was 1:09.88 and Spawr said a race like that usually would be run around 1:08. “If the racetrack stays this way it will be a concern for us, although my feeling is by Breeders’ Cup Day it won’t be,” he said. “If we get a couple of rains, it should tighten things up.”
