Kinda thought it was an aggressive move for Baffert sending her to this spot so quickly after a big race in May, a big race in June, think he has some other plans. probably a break, the race at Parx and then the BC.

Abel Tasman was due to fly back to California on Monday. Baffert said if Abel Tasman is doing well in a month’s time, he would consider shipping her back for the Alabama. But he noted that Abel Tasman has already shipped three times this year from her California base.

“If she’s doing really well, I’ll do it,” Baffert said.
