If not for that nag Proud Spell beating her, then she would have won three times at the distance. But yeah, only twice proves it's too long for her.

Maybe it was too wet for her. She's just 2 for 2 on muddy and sloppy, including one of her mile-and-sixteenth wins. If she were 3 for 3 on wet tracks, maybe Baffert would have let her run, but coming in just 2 for 2, well...

Or maybe they didn't like the weight assignment. She would have been forced to carry 6 lbs LESS than her last two races. It might have thrown off her rhythm.

So many reasons to scratch...
