DRF: Distaff loses likely pacesetter Fighting Mad
Brad Free Oct 12, 2020 ARCADIA, Calif. – The pace scenario of the Breeders’ Cup Distaff just got softer. Front-runner Fighting Mad, a Grade 1 winner in California, will skip the Distaff and aim for a stakes race in January. “We’re going to pass,” Fighting Mad’s trainer Bob Baffert said Monday. “She had to have won her last start, and she didn’t. I was disappointed in her race. You can’t go into the Breeders’ Cup with hesitation.” Fighting Mad briefly emerged as the top older filly or mare this year in California, but she finished third as the odds-on favorite in the Grade 2 Zenyatta Stakes on Sept. 27 at Santa Anita, a length and a half behind winner Harvest Moon. The defeat was Fighting Mad’s first loss in a route. She wired the Grade 2 Santa Maria Stakes in May at Santa Anita, followed by a front-running victory in the Grade 1 Clement Hirsch on Aug. 2 at Del Mar. The Hirsch was a Win and You’re In for the Distaff.

The dream is over.
Ghaiyyath injured and retired. He was a Win and You're In for the Classic (but more likely for the Turf). Back to Arklow versus Channel Maker. Oh, and United. (Sounds like a bad edition of the Tidal...) |
