Baffert - Changing the Face of American Racing?
Been stewing about this for a while, and now that his 2nd Triple Crowner crossed the wire in hand, it seems somewhat okay to anoint greatness when there is actual greatness.
Baffert owns American thoroughbred racing right now.
If you think of the great horses in the past few years, they have all been under his tutelage: American Pharoah, Arrogate, Justify.
And then you have Hoppertunity. Abel Tasman. He owned the day.
Get out of the gate. Run hard. Win.
Until it gets beat, it is really getting hard to bet against.
