(October 21, 2004)- Local racing fans got their first look at 13 Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships contenders stabled in Grand Prairie, Texas on Thursday during the first morning of "Daybreak at Lone Star," a free daily program open to the public during training hours from 5:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. The temperature was about 70 degrees with light breezes after sunrise at 7:30 a.m.

First on the track was locally based Arlington Breeders' Cup Sprint Handicap winner Gold Storm (pointing to the $1 million Breeders' Cup Sprint), who came out immediately after the gap opened for a 1 ½-mile gallop. It was Gold Storm's first time on the track since a five-furlong breeze Monday in 1:00 3/5.

Dynever, the 2003 Lone Star Derby winner and third in last year's $4 million Breeders' Cup Classic - Powered by Dodge, was out at 7 a.m. to prepare for another shot at North America's richest race.

"He jogged the wrong way a mile and he galloped a mile-and-a-quarter," said Christophe Lorieul, exercise rider and assistant to trainer Christophe Clement. "He's good. He's been here before so he knows."

Also out early was Hopeful winner Afleet Alex ($1.5 million Bessemer Trust Breeders' Cup Juvenile), who galloped 1 ½ miles for trainer Tim Ritchey at 6:30 a.m.

"He handled it pretty good this morning," said Ritchey's exercise rider Sam Cabrera.

Magistretti ($2 million John Deere Breeders' Cup Turf) and Sense of Style ($1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies), trainer Patrick Biancone's pair, galloped about 1 ½ miles and schooled in the paddock. Afterwards, both horses spent 10 to 15 minutes breathing through a machine in their stalls that provides medication to the lungs.

Others that exercised before the renovation break were Bwana Charlie (Sprint), Culinary (Juvenile Fillies), Royal Regalia ($1.5 million NetJets Breeders' Cup Mile) and Wonder Again ($2 million Breeders' Cup Distaff - Presented by Nextel).

After the half-hour break from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m., Dale Romans brought out his heavy hitters one at a time. Roses in May (Classic) and Kitten's Joy (Turf) both galloped about 1 ½ miles.

"They really seem to be doing well," Romans said.

Indy Groove (Distaff) also came to the track late in the morning for maintenance.

Domestic Dispute made his first appearance after flying in Wednesday from Southern California with Texas Turf Stakes nominee Needwood Blade.

"They both traveled superb," said Mickey Brennan, assistant and gallop boy for trainer Paddy Gallagher.

The Strub Stakes winner Domestic Dispute was on the main track at 8:45 a.m. Thursday.

"I jogged him a mile and got a little gallop into him," Brennan said. "I just let her have a look around."

Domestic Dispute was pre-entered in the Mile and the Sprint, but appears to be leaning toward his first preference in the Mile. The 4-year-old colt intends to work over the turf course this weekend.
