Majestic City will start in the BC Juvenile! RACE RECORD 5 - 3-1-1 Jeff Bloom’s Majestic City, who was caught late by Dullahan in Saturday’s Dixiana Breeders’ Futurity (G1), on Monday is headed back to California, where he will train up to the Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Churchill Downs. “I was very pleased with his effort,” trainer Peter Miller said. “With a little better luck and a better trip, he wins the race. He closed into a fast pace, opened up and then hung on.” Miller said Majestic City would have two or three works at Hollywood Park before returning to Kentucky a few days before the Breeders’ Cup scheduled for November 4-5. Majestic City, a son of City Zip, has made all five of his starts on all-weather surfaces. Miller said the colt could run in the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (G1) at a mile instead of the $2 million Grey Goose Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) at 1 1/16 miles. “We are going to nominate to both spots,” Miller said. “City Zips move up on the grass and the flat mile is enticing. Plus without (leading 2-year-olds) Creative Cause or Union Rags, the Turf looks like it will be a softer spot.”
