Since Pletcher horses aren't running under his name this weekend, I felt it was worth the risk not to pick him this month.
I just thought it was odd Baffert was thinking about shipping Pussycat Doll to Larel. Graded races for filly and mare sprinters must be few and far between this time of year.

Outside of the new BC race there are only 4 G1 sprints for filly/mares on the entire year. The Santa Monica she just ran in, the Humana Distaff is at Churchill in May, the Princess Rooney is at Calder in July, and the Ballerina is at Saratoga in August. So she'd better get used to shipping if they plan to run her in any G1s. There are only even 9 G2s for them to choose from. After the Barbara Fritchie they could choose between the Shirley Jones at Gulfstream or the Distaff BC at Aqueduct in March. The next G1 or G2 in California isn't until the A Gleam in July.
