The yearlings that Baffert bought for Zayat in the fall of 2006, now 2 yr olds, should have been thought out for style of racing. Team Baffert should have known they werent running on the 405 Freeways formerly known as SA and HP. The decision from the CHRB to change tracks was announced in Feb 2006 not yesterday.
Didnt hear any complaints from Bafferts camp when Sinister Minister ran at Keeneland getting the 500 Beyer speed rating, incidently he hasnt done much since.
Baffert couldnt even adapt to Cushion track at HP, insisting on training at SA and seeing his horses win at 8% at HP Spring vs norm of 20% for their stable.
Now 2 weeks into the meet,"We want Change or we are taking our horses", well sorry to see you go. Bring some extra deodarant as the stink you bring to Saratoga could be coming from your horses on the NY tracks or the higher humidity, we wont know which as of today.
