It's somewhat surprising that someone purchased her as a racing prospect and didn't send her straight to the shed given her horrendous 2007 campaign.

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.
