More Defections

Dixie Chatter fever, Attila\'s Storm ankle, Out of Breeders\' Cup, from Bloodhorse Mag

[TGJB]

The Attila\'s Storm scratch is pretty significant.

By the way, you can\'t test for alkalyzing agents out of competition. Unless they publish the CO2 tests after the races, we know nothing.

And announcing in advance they would be testing for EPO made it pretty unlikely anyone using it would pre-enter.

Dixie Chatter was on same flight as Cry and Catch Me who also came down with a fever and scratched.  That plane left CA on Monday and I have tried to find out who else was on it.  I don\'t want to find out AFTER the race that a horse I played who ran poorly spiked a fever the day after!

The other plane with Nashoba\'s Key and Silent Name left CA on Wednesday.  Anyone know if there were any other horses besides Baffert\'s and Mandella\'s (above) on the Monday flight?

Deb,

Monday morning from MP; Steve Haskins reported a big shipment of California horses coming in from Baffert. Don\'t know for sure if Lute and Indian Blessing were on the plane or not.

You can watch the report on BH site.

Deb,
Found the tape and listened to it.Haskins said Baffert\'s shipment was headed by the trio of Midnight Lute,Cry and Catch Me and Tough Tiz\'s Sis.

[Delmar Deb]
