Dullahan's Breeders' Cup fate in Tammy Fox's hands – Turf or Dirt?

Dullahan will either run in the $3 million Turf at 1 ½ miles or the $5 million Classic at 1 ¼ miles on dirt.

Romans’ assistant of 21 years, Tammy Fox, a former jockey, said Dullahan will work on the Santa Anita turf on Saturday. The three-year-old will then follow that with a dirt workout the following Saturday. And then it's in Fox's hands.

"Whichever one I decide that he likes the best, that’s the one we’re going to go with, so I hope I pick the right one,” Fox said.

Both races are Nov. 3.

Dullahan, who was third in the Kentucky Derby and recently won the Pacific Classic (G1) at Del Mar, arrived at Santa Anita earlier in the week, along with another four of Romans' horses: Little Mike (Mile); Moon Walk (Juvenile Fillies Turf); Shackleford (Dirt Mile); and Sustained (Juvenile Fillies Turf).
