Abel appears ready to run a new top. Baffert said when he got her she was sick so he missed some time with her. She still paired up in last and I would expect a solid move forward here. Also like closer types better after they leave santa Anita.
Thoughts?
Just curious how/where you heard the info about Abel Tasman being sick when Baffert got her. I have not been able to find this anywhere. Is this documented or did you overhear it?
Thanks!

\"When I first got her, she was sick, so I missed some (training) days with her and took it easy with her,\" Baffert said. \"I was going to run her in Arkansas, but with Unique Bella out (of the Santa Anita Oaks), I thought she\'d be good enough to beat those, but I didn\'t know they had another stealth missile in there.
Thank you cardinal. Didn\'t remember where I read it.
Thank you guys very much. Appreciate the info.
