Liam’s Map scheduled to work Sunday for Breeders’ Cup Classic
By Marty McGee
Weather permitting, trainer Todd Pletcher is scheduled to be at Keeneland on Sunday morning with John Velazquez and other New York-based jockeys for several important works, including one by Liam’s Map, a candidate for the Breeders’ Cup Classic.
Pletcher, second all time in Keeneland stakes wins (44) entering this meet behind only D. Wayne Lukas (50), has not been a major proponent of synthetic tracks and tended to back off with the numbers he sent here during the eight years of Polytrack at Keeneland. But with the Breeders’ Cup set for the end of the month, he’s back with a full barn of 36 for this meet, led by Liam’s Map, Rock Fall, Curalina, Race Day, Protonico, Sweet Whiskey, Jack Milton, Stopchargingmaria, and Uncle Vinny.
