A Triple Crown season significantly affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic concludes Saturday at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore with the 145th Preakness Stakes.
Improbable, a colt trainer Bob Baffert previously called “Baby Justify,” a reference to his 2018 Triple Crown winner, is now living up to that title in 2020.
Now that Firenze Fire has locked up a fourth straight trip to the Breeders’ Cup, trainer Kelly Breen and owner Ron Lombardi may be in need of an engineer.
It’s safe to say Bob Baffert is enjoying a fantastic year.
The Hall of Fame trainer has already won 11 Grade 1 races with eight different horses. Three weeks ago, he secured a record-equaling sixth Kentucky Derby triumph with Authentic, one of three Horse of the Year contenders residing in the Baffert barn.
