Is there any chance that Baffert could run Zensational back in 8 days as a rabbit for Pioneerof The Nile? Zayat owns both horses, but while he paid $700K for Zensational, Pioneerof The Nile is his homebred. Zensational seems to be a speed crazy nut, and that's just what they need to go with The Pamplemousse.
Bob Baffert is no Barry Abrams. He doesn't have a history of running his horses off of one week, but if Zensational comes out of his race today feeling good, then why not use that speed to help set up his really big horse?
