Didn't AP take a extra day after the Haskell before he shipped
..According to Baffert he looked a bit tired and normally it would take AP 3 days..

Maybe someone can correct me on this if I'm wrong..

it would be more surprising if he didn't need an extra day after the Haskell considering the campaign he has endured the past few months. 18,000 miles of flights and appearing at numerous different tracks. It's amazing he even competed at all in the traverse.

i would have waited 2 days. its kind of standard procedure not to ship the horse back so far a distance right after the race.

my guess is this horse has done to much shipping already.

it's what a four hour flight?

the horse stopped first in Kentucky to pick up FUNNYCIDE, then went to New York. probably a 9 hour trip with the stop.

if this was an east coast based horses he might not have been tired.

The travel matters but we have to remember that what they're doing in their stall in the plane is similar to what they'd be doing if they were in their stall at the barn. It's not at all the hassle and sardines in a can that humans go through.

It was an extra day to go back training, he shipped after the Haskell just the same as he did after Belmont.

I'd be more worried about the 7f move before the race than the travel. After a race horses don't do much anyway, so the trips back to CA are almost a moot point.
