Princess Noor had her first work back from the BC yesterday at Santa Anita. Worked by herself and got a 1/2 mile in :48 4/5 (XBTV posted :49 4/5), good for 15th of 38 working the distance. This was her slowest 1/2 mile ever on raw time and 2nd worst ranking amongst other workers.
Baffert also took the blinkers off. Horse worked through the stretch with her head cocked to the right while drifting in slightly.
Not sure if all the change ups were status quo for the first work back, experimentation, or utter desperation.
