I knew there'd be a shit ton of talk about Baffert at the Derby this year. I swear I am trying to get past my issues with him and accepting the idea that he's served his time and done his punishment or whatever.

But saying he didn't mean to cheat....I might believe that easier if it had only happened once. But Gamine was disqualified from 3rd in the Oaks for betamethasone in September of 2020.

So don't tell me that in May of 2021 he didn't realize it shouldn't have been used on Medina Spirit.

But ultimately Jerry Bailey is right. You either like the guy or you don't. I just can't totally let it go and I don't really know why. There aren't a lot of trainers who have squeaky clean records

This is what $3 million looks like…

After setting a record at the OBS - Ocala Breeders' Sales March Sale when selling for a whopping $3,000,000, purchased by Zedan Racing, BRANT (Gun Runner) made his debut Saturday, July 26 at Del Mar. Trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, the 2-year-old colt forged ahead to win by 5 1/4 lengths with a performance that earned him TDN Rising Stardom 🌟

Final time for the 5 1/2 furlongs was a sharp 1:02.63.

We’re looking forward to seeing what this exciting colt does next! 👀

Oh god the owners supporting Baffert calling themselves the Avengers is so many extreme levels of cringe. That wasn’t even funny levels of cringe. That was just bad.

National Treasure Wins the 2023 Preakness Stakes

National Treasure won the 2023 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore Saturday evening.

Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert picked up the win, just hours after another of his horses was euthanized following an earlier race. The win made Baffert the winningest trainer in Preakness Stakes history and the only trainer to have eight horses win the race.

Blazing Sevens placed second, and prerace favorite and Kentucky Derby winner Mage placed third in the seven-horse field. The win means no horse will take home the coveted Triple Crown this year, achieved when a horse wins the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes in one year.

National Treasure was ridden by Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez, who tallied his first win at the Preakness Stakes.

All of Bafferts horses deserve better, especially Medina Spirit.
