(October 19, 2004)- Bwana Charlie, winner of the Grade II Amsterdam at Saratoga, prepared for the $1 million Breeders' Cup Sprint with a five-furlong workout Tuesday in :59 2/5 at Lone Star Park, home of the Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships on Oct. 30.

"It was a nice work and he looked good," said Darren Fleming, assistant to trainer Steve Asmussen. "He did it real easy - nice, smooth and relaxed. He was real comfortable and galloped out great."

Fleming said he caught Bwana Charlie galloping out six furlongs in 1:12 1/5. The effort, which came at about 7 a.m., was termed as being done "handily" by the track clocker.

"He worked awesome," said Bwana Charlie's regular exercise rider Carlos Roses. "He was on the bit the whole way and he relaxed good. He galloped out very strong and as I crossed the wire my skin was like chicken skin he was so impressive. He's a very tough horse and he knows the business. Every time I take him by the wire, he knows what he's going to do."

Bwana Charlie finished second last time out in the Oct. 2 $100,000 Alysheba Breeders' Cup Stakes at Lone Star, a race he was heavily favored in off a troubled fourth in Saratoga's Grade I King's Bishop.

"I think it was just an unfortunate race," Fleming said of the Alysheba. "There was a horse loose on the lead by 10 that he tried to catch."

The announcement of horses pre-entered for the eight Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships events will come Wednesday morning.

Updates on Breeders' Cup Contenders Stabled at Lone Star

MAGISTRETTI (Turf)/SENSE OF STYLE (Juvenile Fillies) - Both of trainer Patrick Biancone's Breeders' Cup contenders, along with undercard stakes nominees Spanish Chestnut and Ball Four, went to the track at 6:30 a.m. for one-mile jogs. The Biancone contingent also visited the paddock for a schooling session that assistant Cyril Deplanques said went "very well." Desplanques explained that Magistretti and Sense of Style are both relaxed pros, but that paddock visits are part of the routine for Biancone's horses at any new track. Magistretti and Sense of Style will be out at about the same time Wednesday to gallop one mile.

CULINARY (Juvenile Fillies) - Trainer Michael Stidham's undefeated Arlington-Washington Lassie winner walked the shedrow of Barn C3 the morning after her arrival. Assistant Rico Rosas said Culinary would be on the track Wednesday for a jog at 6:30 a.m.

GOLD STORM (Sprint) - The Arlington Breeders' Cup Sprint Handicap winner walked the shedrow of trainer C.W. "Bubba" Cascio's Barn B1 after an impressive five-furlong breeze Monday in 1:00 3/5. The trainer said he would probably walk Gold Storm one more day Wednesday and is likely to gallop the horse up to the race without any more official workouts. "I wouldn't be doing myself any justice by trying to get him any fitter," Cascio said.
