No



But my 2 brothers have an entry and so does my sister.( 4 in the top 20 including myself)



I'm hoping that Frankel has a change of heart and enters in the San Carlos. Lanten Heat has been working very well

From today's Santa Anita notes:

In other La Canada news: Bob Baffert said Downthedustyroad, winner of the Grade I La Brea Stakes, will pass the final leg of the La Canada series. “She’s got a little problem,” Baffert said, “but she’ll be back.”

I'm assuming that means she'll miss the Santa Maria. Just wonderful.

This isn't good news for those of you with Silmaril:

Pussycat Doll, winner of the Grade I Santa Monica Handicap at seven furlongs on Jan. 28, worked three furlongs Wednesday at Santa Anita in :36.40 for her next race, which likely will be the $300,000 Barbara Fritchie Breeders’ Cup Handicap at Laurel on Feb. 17. “That’s our only option right now,” Bob Baffert said of the Grade II race at seven furlongs.

Baffert is out to get my stable.

He really is:

Baffert added that Zayat Stables’ undefeated 3-year-old E Z Warrior would miss Sunday’s Grade II San Vicente Stakes. “He has a little foot issue,” Baffert said of the $1.2 million son of Exploit, “but he’ll be OK.

Wow...that is bad news on all fronts.
Does anyone know if Exhale is going in the San Vincente?
I think Steve Haskins wrote yesterday that he hasn't worked since his maiden win 2-1/2 weeks ago.

Yes---not good news at all.

It would have been nice to know this all one day sooner......

Something tellls me I'm going to have a very bad month.....and it's all thanks to Baffert.

It is bad news...but I think most people would have EZ Warrior and/or Down the Dusty Road in their lineup, so it will affect the majority of teams. It also hurts if you chose Baffert as your trainer (like I did).
Since Pletcher horses aren't running under his name this weekend, I felt it was worth the risk not to pick him this month.


I just thought it was odd Baffert was thinking about shipping Pussycat Doll to Larel. Graded races for filly and mare sprinters must be few and far between this time of year.

Outside of the new BC race there are only 4 G1 sprints for filly/mares on the entire year. The Santa Monica she just ran in, the Humana Distaff is at Churchill in May, the Princess Rooney is at Calder in July, and the Ballerina is at Saratoga in August. So she'd better get used to shipping if they plan to run her in any G1s. There are only even 9 G2s for them to choose from. After the Barbara Fritchie they could choose between the Shirley Jones at Gulfstream or the Distaff BC at Aqueduct in March. The next G1 or G2 in California isn't until the A Gleam in July.
