Pussycat Doll has been plagued with injuries for 3 years and allegedly has a foot problem which, coming from Baffert's mouth (see Kafwain, see Vindication, see Point Given, see Yearly Tour, see Chief Planner), usually means something much more severe. It's somewhat surprising that someone purchased her as a racing prospect and didn't send her straight to the shed given her horrendous 2007 campaign.
Air Commander reportedly left a little feed, and considering he's made about 6 lifetime starts and sports a 9 month layoff, it's not out of the realm of possibility to think that "leaving a little feed" is Baffertspeak for "going to the ranch soon".
