He has two horses in the race.
He has a horse named Potente who finished second in the Santa Anita Derby.
And he has a horse named Litmus Test, who just was a disaster last time out in the Arkansas Derby.
In that race, they took the blinkers off of him.
He didn't like it.
He broke out of the gate poorly.
He finished seventh out of eight.
Now the blinkers are back on, and he looks like he's been working well.
And Potente had a blinder of a workout the other day.
And so, yeah, Baffert, all he's done is win six of these things.
He's coming in under the radar.
Those two horses in the morning line were 10 to 1 for Potente and 20 to 1 for Litmus Test because they're not coming in off wins.
And also, I would say about Potente, he didn't finish his last race with the greatest of speed.
And you really need to show that you can accelerate late in the race because you're going to add a furlong for most of these horses to get the mile and a quarter.
And he didn't really show in that last race that maybe he could get that extra furlong.
We'll find out Saturday.
It is Bob Baffert, after all.
Very familiar.
Yeah, that was in 2006.
