Baffert will seek fourth straight Haskell with Power Broker
Trainer Bob Baffert will look to continue his stranglehold upon Monmouth
Park's signature race when he sends out Power Broker in Sunday's $1 million
Haskell Invitational. The Hall of Fame trainer has saddled a record six winners,
including the last three runnings, of the Grade 1 event.
Baffert announced the colt's participation via twitter following a workout on
Del Mar's Polytrack Tuesday.
"Power Broker going to Haskell," Baffert tweeted after Power Broker traveled
five furlongs in 1:00 4/5. "Worked great today."
Baffert has won the last three editions of the 1 1/8-mile Haskell with
Paynter, Coil and Lookin At Lucky.
Winner of the Grade 1 FrontRunner at Santa Anita last October, Power Broker
concluded his two-year-old campaign with a fifth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile.
The chestnut son of Pulpit was no factor when making a belated three-year-old
debut, finishing a well-beaten fifth in the Santa Anita Derby, but rebounded to
take an entry-level allowance at Churchill Downs on May 10.
Power Broker returned to stakes competition with a gusto last time out,
drawing off to a 3 3/4-length score in the June 8 Easy Goer at Belmont Park. The
Gary and Mary West color bearer registered a career-best 102 BRIS Speed rating.
