Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf entrant Aruna galloped 1 3/4 miles on grass under exercise rider Heather Craig Tuesday morning at Churchill Downs.

Trainer Graham Motion said, "Ultimately I felt more confident about her getting the distance on the turf than I did about how she was going to handle the dirt. She had a perfectly good workout. I thought she worked fine, but I'm not sure it told me anything. If she handles the distance, she'll be very competitive."
