I), going a half-mile in :47 2/5. Jockey Tyler Baze worked Big Macher, and both Baze and trainer Richard Baltas were pleased. “He was awesome and full of energy,” said Baze. “He couldn’t be more ready.” Baltas noted that Big Macher cooled out from the work in terrific form. “We took him over to drink water,” said Baltas, “and you know how when a horse blows, the water moved around a little? Well, the water didn’t move. He blows more when he gallops.” Baltas skipped the Santa Anita Sprint Championship with Big Macher because he feels the gelding runs better fresh. “Though it wasn’t by design, he won the Bing Crosby (gr. I) after a three-month layoff,” said Baltas. “We ran him off works, and he ran the best race of his life.” Big Macher’s most recent start was a sixth in the Aug. 24 Pat O’Brien... ...

From Santa Anita Publicity ARCADIA, Calif.

The California-bred son of Beau Genius, claimed for $20,000 last July, defeated Santa Anita Derby and Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile winner Goldencents one race before the Pat O’Brien, in the Grade I Bing Crosby.

Big Macher worked six furlongs at Santa Anita Monday in a bullet 1:11.60 under regular pilot Tyler Baze. “We’ll be tough in the Breeders’ Cup,” Baltas said. “I don’t worry about anybody else’s horse.
