Baffert 2-year-olds are a real gamble
Jack Wolf and his wife Laurie have been successful with their horses. They have trained Justify and Authentic. Their horses were trained by Bob Baffert, who has been banned from the next two Runs for the Roses and the Derby. Baddert has kept racing and winning in southern California. Jack Wolf's Starlight Racing, George Soros’s SF Racing and Sol Kumin”s Madaket Stable are working with B Affert again to campaign 2-year-old colts like Rockefeller. Rockefeller will be racing Friday in the $300,000 Grade 1 American Pharoah Stakes at Santa Anita.
Tripoli is the fastest horse in the $300,000 Grade 1 Awesome Again on Saturday. Medina Spirit is a favorite, but he needs a loose lead to win. Corniche is forecast to be the heavy favorite in American Pharoah on Friday at 7:29 p.m. EDT. Idol is 5-1. Art Collector is 2-for-2 since he was moved from Tommy Drury’s barn to Bill Mott”s. Forza Di Oro was a nervous, even-money favorite last month in Grade. 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup. The first three days of racing at Santa Anita are going to get hot with highs in 90s and it's not a “win and youre in“ race.
Baffert 2-year-olds are a real gamble. C Z Rocket is going to win his second consecutive $200,000 Grade 2 Santa Anita Sprint Championship on Saturday. Tarnawa is a co-favorite to be the winner of the $5.8 million Grade 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in Paris on Sunday. The early part of that race will be shown live on FS2 in an 8-10:30 a.m. EDT telecast. It's the second time in a row that he'll miss the Arc.
