![]() Can they please never run Hystericalady on a synthetic surface again?
She can't even hold off the likes of Tough Tiz's Sis, Nashoba's Key, and Balance with easy trips on that surface. On dirt, she always fires strong races. |

![]() They don't need to do that. Just stop running her on fake dirt.
For the Strub, I went in with the same attitude as the last one. I don't care who wins as long as it wasn't one of the Rat Brothers, Tiago and Great Hunter.

Air Commander reportedly left a little feed, and considering he's made about 6 lifetime starts and sports a 9 month layoff, it's not out of the realm of possibility to think that "leaving a little feed" is Baffertspeak for "going to the ranch soon". |

Trainer Bob Baffert revealed his reasons for scratching PUSSYCAT DOLL (Real Quiet) from the Santa Monica H. (G1) and AIR COMMANDER (Point Given) from the Strub S. (G2), both on Saturday at Santa Anita. "Air Commander left a little feed, and Pussycat has been having some foot issues, and I didn't want to take a chance on running them," Baffert said. Looks like you are right on.
