Default Plum Pretty Out Of Goose
Baffert just posted this to the Twitterverse...

"Plum pretty not running in Mother Goose. Slight temperature this morning. Bug going around barn. Shame. She worked awesome yesterday."

Apparently the fever wasn't very bad. She's entered in the Hollywood Oaks on Saturday.

I'd like to ask this question. Is it reasonable to believe that maybe the bug wasn't that serious but he thought that traveling while recovering from it wouldn't have been the best way to get over it?

That's a fair question. It's quite a bit less likely than him being disingenuous in making something up because he didn't want to ship.

That's reasonable.

If you think there ever was a "bug" in the first place.

You never know. It's always dangerous to believing anything these guys say. If it had been some other guy, Shirreffs for example, I'd think it was an excuse but Baffert's never been shy about shipping and regularly ships to NY and there was no monster horse there that I could see frightening him off. I'd give Baffert the benefit of the doubt as far as believing him in this situation.

She won the KY Oaks... I am pretty sure this is a harder race to win than the Mother Goose, isn't it?

Upon further review of the fields in both Mother Goose and the Hol Oaks, it appears to me that the Hol Oaks is a tougher field.

how do you know she won't scratch saturday from the Hol race? wouldn't you rather scratch close to home if the horse wasn't right than to ship across the country and not run?

I'd rather not enter any race if the horse wasn't right.

Hypothetically speaking of course, if a trainer has a top ranked horse, and says for weeks that such horse is running in one of a certain track's races, it can make it more difficult to assemble competition for said top horse. If said horse is withdrawn one day before the race is drawn, there is not necessarily enough time to assemble the same field had said horse never been pointing to the race in the first place. While this happens, as horses are susceptible to all sorts of problems that can prevent them from racing as scheduled, it can, and does, have a potentially unnecessary negative effect on certain races.

Hypothetically speaking of course.
