What i dont understand is that in the UK if you front run you almost always get picked off in the final 2 furlongs but in the US horses dont seem to be able to close to the line?
Huge field for So. Cal.
5 horse field, I need to see this horse run in a 12 horse field at a Mississippi valley track.ô¿ô
Terrible ride on the second
It's a LONG WAY to the first Saturday in May.
THE COLT HAS CLASS, NO MISTAKEN, LITTLE OR BIG FIELD. THE JOCKEY, AND THE TRAINER HAVE IT TOO.. WINNING COMBINATION. YES, MAY WILL FIND THE COLT MORE SEASONED, MORE MUSCLED, AND LESS GREEN.KENTUCKY, WATCH OUT, HERE WE'AL COME….
But are we sure what he beat? And what about in a big field?
All because us brits don,t know how to work out from where the pace will come from in a race,so us brits need to do our homework more often.they went quick enough to suggest he,s good this Barnes but I would like to see him run at gulfstream where thd opposition will be alot better
The boss is back
When i saw this horse win his debut at Churchill, first thought was Derby winner. This race just solidified that thought
Barnes was all business this time
Had an eye on all horses that Bob B. has trained since California Chrome, and have not been disappointed. When it comes to training horses he has the Minus touch! Go Bob & welcome back to the winners Circle!
BOB BAFFERT IS BACK IN HIS ELEMENT WITH HIS KENTUCKY DERBY HOPEFUL, BARNES!! HE SAYS HE SEES TRIPLE CROWN PHENOM AMERICAN PHARAOH IN HIM!! IF HE KEEPS WINNING THE WAY HE DOES?? HE COULD BE A VIABLE FORCE!
This horse will win woody stephens or king bishops….no chance derby…😊
He is a sprinter
That's a sprinter, not a Derby winner. I said what I said haha 😅
No matter what your opinion of Baffert is, he's has that magic touch when it comes to training winning horses.
Looks a machine, got a really good attitude
I don’t take much stock with the Baffert horses until they ship out to the East Coast derby preps. The dirt races in California are small field and are a joke.
Derby 🐎 pick for me
That horse don’t wanna change leads
Like Steve McQueen said in the Magnificent Seven, "so far so good". Baffert gets to hand pick the ones with great pedigree, great health, great promise. Of course, there are 38 others in the future pool number 3 with the same idea, and others not on the list, but so far so good with this one. His dosage is listed at 3.00 I believe, but his pedigree for the distance and for improving, is actually better.
Baffert has a magic touch alright. Magic.
With over 30 drug violations and 90 dead horses, he should have been ruled off years ago
Ok
Nothing like a Grade 2 Race with 5 horses………………………………………………………………………..
Nice
TRIPLE CROWN 2025!
This horse is awful. 47 1/2 in San Felipe and dropped anchor. Nice horse
