If you're so eager to play against her, why would you ever wait a race?
If she sucks on Saturday, then that was the time to toss her.
If she runs big, then there's a lot less evidence in favor of playing against her
next out on dirt.

I'll try to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you think, that I am thinking, that Indian Blessing is a horse that has made an acute drop in quality.
-When in actuality, I think Indian Blessing is, and has been, a known commodity, who needs things a certain way.

If you rethink your questions from my perspective, your questions should be easily answered.

I wonder if it would have been a bad thing to send her anyway. Baffert says that she may have tested positive. So maybe she wouldn't have. Even if she does and they have to give back the money, if that's the race he had penciled in for her as part of her program for the rest of the year and she had been training with the intent to race this weekend, I think I might have gone anyway. If she would have won, it would have been a plus in her resume when it comes time to vote for champions. Even if she were later disqualified, people would still remember it. Or is that just stupid?
