Bob Baffert feeling pressure but holding strong hand ahead of Kentucky Derby Globe_Sports
Trainer Bob Baffert watches while Kentucky Derby entrant Game Winner comes off the track after a workout at Churchill Downs on Thursday, May 2, 2019, in Louisville, Ky.Bob Baffert is feeling the pressure now. The five-time Kentucky Derby-winner finds himself with new favourite Game Winner since Omaha Beach was scratched with a breathing problem.
If Haikal can’t train again on Friday, McLaughlin said he would be out of the race. The deadline to scratch is Friday morning. Instead, he tried to sic the media on Jason Servis, who trains Maximum Security. The Florida Derby-winner is a 10-1 shot. “I was really happy about that, especially having him outside of me,” said Servis, alluding to Smith’s ability to have possibly prompted Maximum Security into a quicker-than-desirable early pace.“I would never do that to the riders,” he said, having started in racing as a jockey.
