Yoshida, fourth in the Breeders' Cup Classic on Saturday, will remain in training next year and will be kept on dirt for the time being owing to how well he ran in the Breeders' Cup and in the Woodward, trainer Bill Mott said Sunday morning at Churchill Downs.

Yoshida is a Grade 1 winner on dirt and turf. The Pegasus in January at Gulfstream Park now has a grass race as well as a dirt race. So Yoshida would seemingly be a candidate for either race.

"As good as he's run on dirt, I think we would keep him on dirt for the time being," said Mott, who said of the Pegasus, "I wouldn't rule it out."

Mott said Yoshida would head to his winter quarters in Florida at Payson Park in coming days.
