Zayat has enough money that he couldve kept her in training and waited for the summer g1 races (the Alabama wouldve been d (she was pushed pretty hard being a 2yo sales grad and she's a big filly), perfect for her). Dont you think that Baffert wouldve made this evident if she had a minor injury? The quotes from Baffert and Sikura about her already doing enough are just a cover b/c they likely dont want to say that she was unsounthus effecting her progeny in the sales ring.

I think that you are right. I think that it became apparent that something was wrong when she didn't start around the BC races or a little after.
