The $1 million CashCall Mile at Hollywood Park on Friday will not include expected favorite Wait a While, the champion 3-year-old filly of 2006.

Trainer Todd Pletcher said on Wednesday that Wait a While had developed a temperature after being shipped to California on Tuesday. Wait a While had drawn post 3 and would have been favored to win her second stakes of the year.

Wait a While underwent a blood test after arriving from New York and the tests revealed an elevated white blood count, Pletcher said. "She looked okay this morning, but she's got a bit of a temperature," Pletcher said Wednesday in a telephone interview. "It's disappointing. She shipped so many times last year."

Pletcher said Wait a While's plans for the summer depend on how quickly she rebounds. She is still considered a candidate for the Beverly D. Stakes at Arlington Park on Aug. 11.

"The first order of business is to get her well," Pletcher said.

Wait a While reportedly turned to Todd and quoted her favorite line from the movie Zoolander, "I've got the black lung, pop." Todd thought she was serious.

You are right bro. He has been working well and fairly steady. Looking forward to this race. I just love the way he makes up so much ground in the blink of an eye with such a great stride.

Frankel knows this is a good runner. She likes to hear her feet rattle, and the Holly Turf will be to her liking. Love to see this one win here.

And in what has become a familiar refrain this year, I have to say there is not much here for a G1.

all signs point to valbenny here.
they crawled through the opening 4f in front of her over this turf course in her last start, and she still rallied to comfortably defeat (among others) a graded stakes winning filly whom she was giving three pounds.
she is three for three over the hollywood turf, and five of her last six overall. the only one that scares me is the japanese filly.

Frankel exacta ?..The mile may fit PK perfectly...and we know that RB can ride at any track...8-1 would interest me a bit.

Baroness Thatcher can't hold onto her lead at 9f, she isn't going to last 10f.

For information purposes, the dam of Panty Raid won 3 races and was stakes placed on turf. Her first foal was a SW in France and won 3 turf races in the US; her second was a 5-time winner on turf in France. On the other had, her colt by Broad Brush (sire of Include) Broadstreeetbully won twice on dirt but was unplaced in his only start on turf.

Surf Cat, if he is still his same self, is the current best horse in the country. He wins this with Silent Name and Siren Lure battling for second and Bilo filling out the super.
