Bailey takes the call on Robert Kaufman's Proud Man and Coa is named on JEB Racing's Sir Brian's Sword.Sir Brian's Sword was beaten a head in the Bonnie Heath last year, but may not be as heavily backed in the field of eight as Proud Man, whose recent form is better. Proud Man, a 5-year-old by Manlove, lost a nose decision last out in the Kelso Breeders' Cup Handicap (gr. IIT) at Belmont in early October under Bailey. $150,000 Bonnie Heath Turf Cup (Race 5, 2:10 p.m.), Florida bred 3 & up, 1 1/8 mile on turf 1. Sea Pleasure, 113, Eddie Castro 2.

Regular rider Julio Garcia gets the return call.Developing with less attention over the summer was Wynn Dot Comma, undefeated in four starts, including the six-furlong Birdonthewire Stakes the same afternoon (Oct. 11) Sir Oscar won the In Reality. $150,000 Jack Price Juvenile (Race 10, 4:25 p.m.), Flordia bred 2-year-olds, 7 furlongs 1.

CruzChatter Chatter Odds-On in Joe O'Farrell Juvenile Fillies Almost certainly the shortest priced favorite on the card will be John Franks' brilliant 2-year-old filly Chatter Chatter in the $150,000 Joe O'Farrell Juvenile Fillies at seven furlongs with Bailey aboard in a field of seven.A homebred daughter of Lost Soldier, Chatter Chatter has emerged as one of the most exciting 2-year-old prospects developed at Calder in recent years after capturing the $400,000 My Dear Girl Division of the FSS by 19 ½ lengths with Bailey aboard for the first time. Trained by Marty Wolfson, Chatter Chatter won her previous start by more than 23 lengths after finishing second in the Susan's Girl Division of the Florida Stallion Stakes won by French Village. Trainer Bill White had both fillies in his care early this summer, but Franks elected to move Chatter Chatter when French Village was undefeated at the time.
