Multiple Grade 2 winner YEARLY REPORT (General Meeting) was scratched from
Monday’s La Brea S. (G1) at Santa Anita due to a a minor ankle injury, according
to trainer Bob Baffert.

“She had a deal on her (left front) ankle yesterday morning,” Baffert said.
“It was a little warm on the outside. I didn’t like the way it looked. It’s OK
today, but yesterday it didn’t look good so I didn’t take any chances.”

The three-year-old bay made her last start an easy win with a 9 1/4-length
victory in the Stonerside S. at Lone Star Park on October 29. Earlier in the
year, she strung together four straight stakes wins, including the Santa Ynez S.
(G2) and Delaware Oaks (G2).

Jerry Bailey was scheduled to ride Yearly Report, but didn’t make the trip
after Baffert called to tell him she would be scratched.

“It probably will cost her a few days,” Baffert added. “She’s done this
before. She either hit it or wrenched it or did something.”

Yearly Report is still pointing toward the January 29 Sunshine Millions
Distaff at Gulfstream Park.
