Perhaps Baffert is the one who was cherry-picking all along. The Hollywood Oaks was coming up with only 4 other horses and with an enticing pace advantage.
The fever story became much less credible when you consider that Baffert ended up entering Plum Pretty for the weekend anyways
and didn't bother to enter any of the 3 fillies he originally planned to run (ie May Day Rose, American Lady, and Artuya).
