this is from the bloodhorse article about the FDL:
She came off a runner-up finish to Awesome Maria in the Sabin Stakes (gr. III) at Gulfstream Park to finish ninth against the boys in the March 31 Dubai World Cup after being stopped in traffic last time out at Meydan.
“She just had a very poor trip in the Dubai World Cup,” remarked Benjamin Leon, owner of Besilu Stable. “I believe she’s capable of competing at that level and with a better trip I think she could have won. I’m really hoping she stays healthy and wins enough this year to be invited back again. I think she could become the first female to win the Dubai World Cup; she’s definitely of that caliber.”
here's an article and comments from the connections after the race:

and really, i don't know if they have a valid bone to pick with lezcano-maybe she doesn't like awt's? maybe the owner doesn't like that he paid out a ton of money for the horse and she finished ninth, so he has to have a person to blame?
i do like the fact tho that when he told pletcher he was giving RD and some of his others to mott, (moved some to chad brown as well) that pletcher didn't like it, so he took them all away.
