Baffert, Baffert, Baffert . . . you sneaky devil you!!!
Nobody in our "brain trust" had Medina Spirit to win on the lead. RQ was the only one that had him hitting the board in the show spot. Baffert surprised himself and many others . . . or did he??? Lesson, learned, never ignore Baffert in a race and Baffert-Johnny V combo.
Quite amazing. I just hope he turns out to be the horse we can all cheer for for the next two.
