This is how good it is to be Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert.
He can start his 2018 season off with a barn full of promising 3-year-old runners, including one of the clubhouse leaders on the Road to the Kentucky Derby. He can lose that Grade 1-winning colt for the entirely of the Triple Crown campaign due to a hind leg injury only to have his so-called “backup” provide the salve of all salves by whipping his classmates en route to becoming just the 13th horse to sweep the American classics.
