Training reports...

TIN CUP CHALICE (USA, g3, bay)

- jogged 2 laps on dirt course, ridden by R. Rideout from 7:45 to 8:05

"He's in good condition and his run down looks good too. It's been a week since we arrived and he's getting accustomed to the atmosphere. His wound is heeling well too. Edgar Prado will be riding him at the race, but we don't know if he'll be riding the horse before that. We'll probably do much the same exercise tomorrow as we did today, but we may gallop a little."

FROST GIANT (USA, h5, chestnut)

- walked 1 lap on dirt course, ridden by R. Rodriguez from 7:45 to 8:05

"He was looking around a lot, being in a new environment, but he'll get used to it in time. The dirt course is quite different from back home, sandier, but the horse didn't seem to mind. We'll do a bit stronger work with him tomorrow, but no fast work until the day of the race (unless the trainer says otherwise). The jockey will be arriving today, but he won't be riding the horse before the race."
