Friday, September 26, 2025 | 3:44 pm

GI Santa Anita Derby and GI Preakness Stakes winner Journalism (Curlin) continued to prep for his upcoming start in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic Nov. 1, working a half-mile bullet in company in :47.0 (1/41) Friday at Santa Anita.

Journalism shared the bullet for the distance with his workmate, Touch of Destiny (Midshipman), an group-winning import from Uruguay who has not started in the U.S.

Of Journalism, trainer Mike McCarthy said “I thought he worked well. It was just an easy half-mile, a leg stretcher.”

Journalism most recently was second in the GI Pacific Classic Aug. 30 at Del Mar.

The 🦍 Journalism got a bit more serious today for @mwmracing, breezing outside of a mate @santaanitapark. The 3x Grade 1-winner & Classic @PreaknessStakes hero hit the wire in 47-sharp, galloping out in 59 and change. 35 days til @BreedersCup Classic. #BeastMode #BelieveBig pic.twitter.com/pkqnO5Jjzo
