It made no sense the winner didn't get bet, but I've seen this before. I don't have one, but it'd be interesting to see someone with a database look at all the races Baffert has an uncoupled entry, how often one of them wins and how often it's the longer price

Baffert has been telling anyone with two ears that American Cleopatra is a piece of crap for months. The analogy he uses AP was a supermodel and AC is a spinster.
I don't think he sandbagging anyone. I don't she wins another race.
The exciting part is I assume they'll take her to the Del Mar Debutante and she'll take money so they'll be other value.
Btw... that Shelby Ruis filly by Union Rags is suppose to be a runner. The fact she was 3-1 first out for Shelby Ruis backs that up. She would have 6-5 with a big time trainer.
That's the horse I want to see race back. I wouldn't be shocked if they raced her in the Del Mar Debutante if the race comes back weak.
