Silver Charm just gets his head in front in a thrilling finish to the 1997 Preakness
A favorite interview standby for turfwriters speaking to a jockey, trainer, or owner with historical success is to ask them to compare their most successful horses to each other. Who is better than who? Who reminds you of who? Trainer Bob Baffert, who is asked this sort of question often, was queried on Thursday s NTRA national media teleconference about the similarities between Derby winner Medina Spirit and Triple Crown winners American Pharoah and Justify.

Breeders’ Cup Presents Connections: Kimmel Acknowledges Bittersweet Start To 2021 Sponsored by:
Trainer John Kimmel
The racing results from Jan. 23 were bittersweet for veteran trainer John Kimmel. He sent out Pacific Gale to the first graded stakes win of her career at the age of six, but Kimmel was unable to celebrate the mare s win with his close friend and her late owner, Mike Morton.
Morton passed away suddenly in December, collapsing in the middle of the night. He d had horses in Kimmel s barn for over seven years, and the two grew particularly close after the death of Kimmel s own father in 2018.
