You sure showed me. Of course there's this other thing from DRF:

"Tim Snyder, the owner and trainer of Lisa’s Booby Trap, said he believes the turf will be easier on his filly, who is blind her in left eye and has a club foot."

The actual quote's in another article somewhere, and is a little more blunt about it, but I did find this for the moment. It's DRF too so, you know, whoopie. Her shoulders aren't muscled the same so she's got a lopsided element to her, she's gotta wear a hind shoe on her front foot, the other one is pancaked, and she's blind in one eye. Can't imagine why he might want to make it as easy on her as possible.
