Crowded House will have to earn his way into a Breeders' Cup race at
Churchill Downs this fall. Owner Paul Reddam and trainer Ben Cecil will
know the colt's status after Saturday's $250,000 Goodwood Stakes at
Hollywood Park.
A win or a sharp performance in the Grade 1 Goodwood over 1 1/8
miles could lead to a start in the BC Classic or Dirt Mile at Churchill
Downs on Nov. 6. A bad loss will lead to a vacation, Cecil said on
Wednesday.
"I think this race will decide," Cecil said. "He'd have to be
supplemented to the Breeders' Cup. We could go in the [Dirt] Mile or
the Classic. The Mile would be easier. He has to run well to warrant
it."
