Dear Bob Baffert,
Have you heard the story about the trainer and
his losing favorite in the Kentucky Derby? No, we're not talking about
2001 and your colt, Point Given.
Rather, this was a speedster that dominated his final Kentucky Derby prep race three weeks before the big event. He had shown incomparable brilliance going one and one-eighth miles. The betting public responded and wagered gobs of cash on his chances.
Unfortunately, he lost and even the talents of Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith couldn't get him home first.
