Barbara D. Livingston Palace, under jockey Cornelio Velasquez, works six furlongs in 1:11.75 on Saturday ahead of the Breeders’ Cup Sprint.<\/p><\/div>\n

ELMONT, N.Y. \u2013 Empire Showcase Day didn\u2019t just pertain to Saturday afternoon at Belmont Park. On Saturday morning, two of the possible 10 New York-breds who could be pre-entered Monday for the Breeders\u2019 Cup, to be held in two weeks at Santa Anita, put in workouts for their respective races.<\/p>\n

Palace, the multiple Grade 1-winning sprinter, drilled six furlongs in 1:11.75 over the Belmont training track in preparation for the $1.5 million Breeders\u2019 Cup Sprint. About 30 minutes later, Zivo, the Grade Suburban winner and Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup runner-up, worked five furlongs in 1:01.07 over the Belmont main track in preparation for the $5 million Breeders\u2019 Cup Classic. Both races are Nov. 1.<\/p>\n

Palace, working by himself under jockey Cornelio Velasquez, broke off at the quarter pole and went his first quarter in 23.66 seconds, hit the wire in 47.14, and then continued on through another quarter in 24.61 seconds around the turn.<\/p>\n

For Palace, the move was similar in style to his move Oct. 11, when he again broke from the half-mile pole and galloped out six furlongs in 1:12.91. That day, he was officially credited with a half-mile move in 48.91 seconds.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to make sure we got enough hard work done here,\u201d trainer Linda Rice said. \u201cIt is the Breeders\u2019 Cup Sprint; they\u2019re going to have to run 1:08 and change or 1:09 and change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Palace won the Alfred G. Vanderbilt and Forego, both Grade 1 races at Saratoga, before finishing third in the Grade 1 Vosburgh here Sept. 27. Rice said she felt Palace had gotten a little heavy on her and that he ran a little flat in the Vosburgh.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had dieted him pretty heavy because he was getting pretty heavy, but that\u2019s also part of the reason I set him down good,\u201d Rice said. \u201cNow his weight is perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rice is booked to ship Palace to Southern California on Tuesday, but she said Saturday she might postpone the trip a week, now that it appears the temperatures are starting to moderate in Southern California after a bit of a heat wave.<\/p>\n

Rice said either way, Palace\u2019s next work will be an easy half-mile.<\/p>\n

Zivo worked shortly after the main track opened following the midmorning renovation break.<\/p>\n

Zivo, working in company with the filly Endless Chatter, went his first quarter in 24.83 seconds, three furlongs in 36.37, and got his final quarter in 24.70. Zivo galloped out six furlongs in 1:14.23 and seven-eighths in 1:28.28.<\/p>\n

\u201cZivo has never been a real flashy work horse. I wanted him to go in 1:01, and that\u2019s what he did,\u201d trainer Chad Brown said. \u201cHe came back good. Just want to maintain where he\u2019s at right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brown put Zivo inside of Endless Chatter, a 4-year-old filly pointing to next Sunday\u2019s Grade 3, $200,000 Turnback the Alarm Handicap.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith that particular matchup \u2013 a big colt and a small filly \u2013 I want to let him be in charge,\u201d Brown said. \u201cI\u2019ve worked him inside, and I\u2019ve worked him outside. It depends on who he\u2019s working with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zivo is scheduled to have one more work at Belmont before shipping to Southern California on Oct. 27.<\/p>\n
