Questions seem to be accruing for Victor Garcia & SMOOTH ROLLER, who despite arriving with Beholder, has put off any vigorous work with the Awesome Again winner day after day..

Just wants to draw into the race and get his name on the program maybe? Odd to just jog and not gallop at least.

Another curiously easy morning for Smooth Roller
Jay Privman , Keeneland , 2015-10-26 - DRF Live Posted : 1hr 37mins ago

Smooth Roller continues to have easy mornings here. He merely jogged again today, with bell boots on. He hasn't even galloped since his arrival, and now won't work here prior to the BC Classic, which means his last work will have been Oct. 17 at Santa Anita.

He worked twice between races of Aug. 26 and Sept. 26, when he won the Awesome Again, and has had two works since that race. But this doesn't seem the ideal way to come into a 1 1/4-mile race against the likes of American Pharoah, Beholder, Honor Code, and Tonalist, all of whom have had a regular series of works heading into the Classic.

Trainer Victor Garcia's response when I asked about the lack of a work here was that the five-furlong work at Santa Anita, with a strong gallop out to a mile, was sufficient.

"He doesn't need that much," Garcia said. "Plus it's been raining, so I don't want to take a chance."

Untapable is out of Breeders' Cup (FREE)

UNTAPABLE, the reigning Breeders' Cup Distaff winner and last year's 3-year-old champion filly, is out of Friday's $2 million Breeders' Cup Distaff due to a temperature, trainer Steve Asmussen said Wednesday.

Her future will be determined by owner Ron Winchell and racing manager David Fiske.
