Dalmore, the winner of the Grade 3 Affirmed at Santa Anita, is being considered for a start in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, trainer Keith Desormeaux said. The Grade 1, $1 million race will be run Nov. 4 at Santa Anita.

Dalmore, who is based at the Southern California track, is coming off a runner-up finish in the Grade 3, $400,000 Super Derby on Sept. 10 at Louisiana Downs. He was edged by a half-length by Texas Chrome, who returned in his next start to capture the Grade 3, $400,000 Oklahoma Derby at Remington Park.

Texas Chrome also is a candidate for the BC Dirt Mile.

Desormeaux said Dalmore had a nice breeze Saturday. If the horse goes in the BC Dirt Mile, he will be ridden by Kent Desormeaux.

Dalmore has a strong record over the Santa Anita main track. He is 3-for-6 on the surface and popped his best Beyer Speed Figure, a 102, in the Affirmed after covering a mile and a sixteenth in a quick 1:40.80.

Dalmore races for Big Chief Racing, Rocker O Ranch, and Desormeaux.
