Combined winners for Baffert, Asmussen, Cox, Diodoro, and Broberg on the Rebel Card today: ONE. Asmussen maiden winner who shook clear easily early and set slow fractions and won easy.
You know, the card that Asmussen shoots for that no one else does. You know, the card, Baffert wins the Rebel in year after year after year.
I don't know if all the vets are on vacation or if new surveillance is starting to happen or different testing protocols?? But today. . . Lukas won with a filly that is TC nominated and nearly won the Rebel after 4w 4w trip.
I guess Bob's horse just didn't fire. And the other one that didn't ship just really was scared of airplanes. LOLOL. Those that said they didn't like Yu should have no fear as her friend B squared (as she said on air today). . . will get all the real answers I'm sure.
Meanwhile in Dubai, Pinehurst just kept finding on the front end. And Country Grammar was close to a sizzling pace and nearly won off a layoff of how long????
Jimmy was in Dubai and Bob was on his couch. No "luck" in Hot Springs when that happens LOLOL
EDIT: "I thought he was in a good spot. When the running started, he didn't have it today. But that happens," Baffert said. "He didn't show up today. I really can't think of any excuses."
