PRIVMAN: Landeskog will be scratched from @BreedersCup Sprint, per O'Neill

Landeskog will be scratched from the Breeders' Cup Sprint on Saturday, trainer Doug O'Neill said on Tuesday morning.

"He's 95 percent. Not 100. We have to wait for another day," O'Neill said. "He's a cool horse with a bright future."

O'Neill said that Landeskog "cooled out a little funny" after his last work. "He tied up, not bad," he said.

O'Neill said a nuclear scan was done and X-rays were clean. Landeskog went back to the track for a routine day of training on Tuesday, but O'Neill said he was "not 100-percent happy" with how he went and decided it was best to pass.

He said the owners of Landeskog, including Erik Johnson of the Colorado Avalanche, "made it easy to do the right thing."

"They said the horse comes first," O'Neill said.

Question on Juvenile Turf Sprint. Am I correct in assuming that all these Euro Turf Sprints are contested on a Straight Away and the Euro entries in this race don't have experience in taking a turn during an actual race?

I'm pretty sure DRF PPs have a designation after the circled "t" for turf.

there is a small str or LH

I saw a few scattered LH...but for most part was str

Anyone know where Imprimis has been training or the reason he hasn’t worked since his last race October 5?

Has there ever been a reason given by Pletcher for Castellano being put up on Coal Front rather than Johnny V who's got 4 graded stakes wins with him?

John Panagot, Javier's agent, has worked with Bob LaPenta in the past. I'm not sure if he still does but it may be related to that.

Should Winstar switch Improbable to a different barn? Baffert is great but obviously something isn’t clicking there. Maybe Improbable just isn’t as good as we thought he could be...but maybe he needs a different perspective. Just some thoughts.

Just like his namesake. Bummer.
