BOB Baffert has twice before had two of the favourites heading into the Kentucky Derby, American Pharoah and Dortmund in 2015, and Point Given and Congaree in 2001. He might well be heading for a similar scenario next summer.

This year he seems to have more talented two-year-olds than ever before and one of them, Improbable, helped Baffert continue his unprecedented success in the $300,000 Grade 1 Los Alamitos CashCall Futurity on Saturday.
