Trainer Simon Crisford has given Rodaini (Exchange Rate) the green light for the G1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita Nov. 4. Carrying the silks of Abdullah Saeed Al Naboodah, Rodaini won his first four starts, including the Listed Flying Scotsman S. at Doncaster Sept. 9, before disappointing when beating just one home in the G3 Autumn S. Oct. 8. Rodaini was set to run in the G3 Horris Hill S. last weekend but was scratched due to the soft going.
Bruce Raymond, racing manager to the owner, said, “Rodaini is going to go to the Breeders' Cup now. We thing the Juvenile Turf will suit him. The ground went soft at Newbury which wouldn't have been his cup of tea at all. He did have an entry in France this weekend [G1 Criterium International], but the plan, as it stands, is the Breeders' Cup.”
