This move takes the cake.

I'd like to ask this question. Is it reasonable to believe that maybe the bug wasn't that serious but he thought that traveling while recovering from it wouldn't have been the best way to get over it?

That's a fair question. It's quite a bit less likely than him being disingenuous in making something up because he didn't want to ship.

That's reasonable.

If you think there ever was a "bug" in the first place.

She won the KY Oaks... I am pretty sure this is a harder race to win than the Mother Goose, isn't it?

Upon further review of the fields in both Mother Goose and the Hol Oaks, it appears to me that the Hol Oaks is a tougher field.

how do you know she won't scratch saturday from the Hol race? wouldn't you rather scratch close to home if the horse wasn't right than to ship across the country and not run?

You never know. It's always dangerous to believing anything these guys say. If it had been some other guy, Shirreffs for example, I'd think it was an excuse but Baffert's never been shy about shipping and regularly ships to NY and there was no monster horse there that I could see frightening him off. I'd give Baffert the benefit of the doubt as far as believing him in this situation.
