Henley's Joy works at Churchill Downs Trackside toward @Breederscup Juvenile Turf

While most of the training action was understandably taking place this morning beneath the Twin Spires, 10 minutes down the road at Churchill Downs Trackside, Juvenile Turf pre-entry Henley's Joy turned in his final work toward the Breeders' Cup.

Trackside clocker Richard McCreery timed him breezing five furlongs in 1:03 4/5 seconds over what he said was a dull strip to start the morning. He also caught Great Wide Open - an alternate for the Breeders' Cup Mile - going five furlongs in 1:00 later in the a.m.

Henley's Joy - winner of this first two starts for owner Bloom Racing Stable and trainer Mike Maker, including the Kentucky Downs Juvenile - most recently was second, beaten a nose by Current, in the Grade 3 Bourbon at Keeneland. Video of that race is available in the attached link. He can be seen in the white blinkers, with his jockey in red silks.
