From Paulick Report: "Millionaire Accelerate, the morning-line favorite for the $6 million Breeders' Cup Classic, went out early to put in his 1 1/4m morning gallop Wednesday with Javier Meza in the saddle.
"The exercise drew a “looked good” from trainer John Sadler, who marveled a bit at the brilliance of the lighting at 5:30. “You know you say you're going out but not in the dark,” the trainer said. “It's as bright as day out there.”
"Sadler has scheduled more galloping for Accelerate up to Saturday's Classic at the classic distance of 1 1/4m."
From Forbes.com: "The morning line favorite has emerged this year as the top dirt-routing class, with five wins in six races, four of them in Grade 1 races, and his only loss coming by a neck. Based in California, this five-year-old has been overshadowed by bigger-name runners like West Coast, Arrogate, and Justify, but in 21 races, he’s finished out of the top three only twice, winning nine times for earnings of $2.5 million. He’s raced outside of California only once, and never at Churchill Downs; the big question for him may be how he does outside of his home base."
