National Treasure 🇺🇸 Aced his first work back after winning The G1 Pegasus. He worked this morning @santaanitapark for Bob Baffert in the excellent hands of @Ersick05. He will ship to Saudi Arabia next Tuesday to participate in the $20 million @thesaudicup on Saturday, February 24th. @BobBaffert #AllAmerican
I believe Bob Baffert and his loyal owners should be allowed to run in this year’s Kentucky Derby.
Bob served his two-year penalty and it’s now time for Churchill to drop the ban.
Let’s move on.
I know the owner of the two-year old champion and early Kentucky Derby favorite and he is also in agreement.
I absolutely love this sport.
Watching National Treasure fight the entire length of the Pilmico stretch and keep finding was epic. It was only his 6th-lifetime start. Keeping G1 company in 4 of those six starts. Johnny V @ljlmvel showed the world that he's “a boss. “ He rode confidently, and National Treasure was there when he needed his all. Bob and #TeamBaffert had him primed for a big-time effort, and that's what we got. I'm incredibly proud to be involved with this ownership group and can't thank everyone enough for everything that goes into making our classic aspirations a reality. ❤️❤️@PreaknessStakes@BobBaffert@CarWalshie@SamanthaCripps@NBCSports
