ARCADIA, Calif. -Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird has completed his final workout in preparation for Saturday's $300,000 Goodwood Stakes.
Mine That Bird drilled five furlongs Tuesday in 1:00.20 on Santa Anita's synthetic Pro-Ride surface under jockey Joe Talamo, who was substituting for regular rider Calvin Borel.
Woolley was optimistic about Mine That Bird's chances in the 1 1-8-mile Goodwood, his final prep before the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic on Nov. 7.
Mine That Bird last ran in the West Virginia Derby on Aug. 1 and finished third.
The Goodwood is one of three Grade 1 Breeders' Cup prep races to be run on Saturday. Undefeated Zenyatta is set to start in one of them, the Lady's Secret.
