How was this race one of the best races you ever seen? lol it was an absolute crawl on the front end 23.98, 48.93, 1:13 and change, that is ridiculous for any stakes race, but for a triple crown race? Bro it's just sad that's how bad these horses were. Watch the race again nobody is passing anyone except the lousy backpedaling Maryland bred horse the #4. You couldn't have a more boring race in my opinion, the race was over when I saw the half mile and 3 quarter mile times, no one can close into a crawl like that, national treasure got to pace himself out there on the front, boring race if you ask me

Don't just settle for what you read 2 years ago. 30 years ago he was a nobody who won.

[@MosheGoldbergTheKing]

Over THIRTY horses trained by Baffert have failed drug tests. But the fines are meaningless. One of his horses crossed the finish line first at the 2021 Kentucky Derby and was disqualified for being drugged. The horse later died under Bafferts care. There is no reason to believe that he ever runs clean horses at this point. American Pharaoh and Jusify (who failed a drug test after winning the Santa Anita Derby and right before winning the Kentucky Derby) should have large asterisks next to their records that says *Doubt Baffert doping horses is confirmed to go back to the late 1970s and his horse death count, could break 100 by this time next year.
