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.
