Tired from the flight over the Rockies, lights scare her, she is too good to race on a track that isn't 100% perfect, she has a minor injury and it would be wrong to put her in a dangerous situation after she has given so much to racing, etc. The zetards will lap it up, since she is the champ and they should have to fly to SoCal to face her, not the other way around.
The unbeaten record is everything to her connections. Why risk losing when so many in the racing media are ready to hand her HOY regardless of what she does on Saturday.
She has shipped all the way to Louisville before only to be scratched because of the track. So it isn't like they don't have a history of doing it.
I wouldn't be shocked if they challenge the Classic winner to a race in SoCal. They have no shame.
