Bob Baffert came, saw and conquered both divisions of the Arkansas Derby.

Both Charlatan and Nadal are well-qualified for the Kentucky Derby scheduled for early September which means that Baffert as well as other trainers with potential runners has to wait on decisions about other top 3yo races in order to work out a training program for the unusual date.

By My Standards maintained his unbeaten record this season with his victory in the Oaklawn Handicap G2.

Saturday should have been Kentucky Derby day – there was a virtual event in which the winners of derbies past were pitted against each other, and then there was the very amusing Kentucky Turtle Derby for a slow day at the races – look for it on You Tube.
