DEL MAR, Calif. – In Thorpedo Anna, trainer Kenny McPeek will have one of the biggest favorites on the card in the $2 million Distaff. In Rattle N Roll, McPeek would have one of the longer shots on the board in the $7 million Classic. If he gets to run. McPeek entered Rattle N Roll in the Classic, but as of Monday morning he was relegated to the also-eligible list. He would need one scratch to get into the field. Rattle N Roll has only one start in a year, that being a third-place finish in the Grade 2 Lukas Classic on Sept 28. Rattle N Roll was off for a long time due to distal bone bruising, McPeek said. :: BREEDERS’ CUP CLASSIC: See DRF’s special section with top contenders, odds, comments, news, and more Rattle N Roll, a son of Connect, is a seven-time stakes winner, including the Grade 1 Breeders’ Futurity as a 2-year-old. Last year, he won the Ben Ali, Pimlico Special, and Blame – all Grade 3 stakes – and was second in the Grade 1 Stephen Foster. McPeek liked Rattle N Roll’s race in the Lukas Classic, where he was third behind Hit Show, who came back to win the Fayette Stakes on Saturday at Keeneland.

He’s a bit of a setup horse. He needs a bigger field for that to happen.” McPeek named Jose Ortiz to ride Rattle N Roll. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
