Bob Baffert has won two of four runnings of the Pegasus, and the Hall of Fame trainer should have a strong hand in the fifth edition.

Maximum Security seized the lead at the start and rolled to a commanding victory in the $750,000 Cigar Mile H. (G1) at Aqueduct, likely cementing the Eclipse Award for champion 3-year-old male.

Maximum Security showed no signs of rust Saturday in the $200,600 Bold Ruler H. (G3), passing his first test against older horses with flying colors in the seven-furlong dash at Belmont Park.
