The Breeders’ Cup World Championships will be short a champion after Racing Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert confirmed Sunday that Indian Blessing will not be pre-entered for the Filly and Mare Sprint (G1).
Indian Blessing finished second last year in the seven-furlong race, but Baffert said she just does not move on the synthetic Pro-Ride surface at Santa Anita Park as well as she does on dirt. Baffert said it was clear from her previous two workouts—a five-furlong move in 1:00.20 handily on October 19 and a six-furlong drill in 1:12.80 handily on Sunday—that she was not at her best on the surface.
