Default Baffert has heart attack in Dubai
According to Jay Privman on Twitter.

3m Jay Privman ‏ @DRFPrivman
Bob Baffert suffered heart attack in Dubai, reports Game On Dude co-owner Bernie Schiappa. He is OK. Had stents inserted. #baffert

2m Jay Privman ‏ @DRFPrivman
More on Baffert, from Schiappa: had 2 blocked arteries. In ICU now. Expected to get out Thursday and attend Dubai World Cup.


Jay Privman ‏ @DRFPrivman
Schiappa says Baffert will remain in Dubai "8-10 days" after World Cup to recuperate. Incident happened 3 am Mon. Dubai time. #baffert

Sheikh Mohammed "got the best help in the world to take care of Bob," Schiappa said. Sheikh Mo was in his room just now. #baffert

Apparently the universe decided Bob's horses were doing too well and, instead of losing some races to balance things out, it opted for this. Glad to hear he's okay. Ya know, he really needs to calm down and be more laid back. Get well soon, Bob!

She's more deserving of an eclipse than Joe Drape.
