opportunity to take the Triple Crown. He didn’t win another Triple Crown race
until the 2010 Preakness with Lookin At Lucky.
In 2015, Baffert finally captured that elusive Triple Crown with American
Pharoah. It was the first time in 37 years since that feat had been accomplished
and twelfth time overall in the sport’s more than 140-year history.
This year, Baffert won the Kentucky Derby for the fifth time when Justify
took home the roses. The victory moved Baffert into second place all time, one
behind Ben Jones who trained in the 1940s.
Baffert and Justify also won the 2018 Preakness Stakes, giving Baffert his
seventh Preakness victory, which moved him into a tie with Robert Wyndham
Walden, who trained from 1875 to 1888. That Preakness victory also moved
him into a tie with D. Wayne Lucas for the most Triple Crown race victories
of all time (14).
The attempt to win the Belmont Stakes on June 9 would give Baffert his
second Triple Crown winner in three years.
Ed started riding in Bike to Beat Cancer to support his
