For Baeza, success as a 3-year-old runs in the family.
Baeza, a half-brother to 2023 Kentucky Derby winner Mage and 2024 Belmont Stakes winner Dornoch, carried on the family tradition of Grade 1 success as a 3-year-old when he captured the Pennsylvania Derby. That win, combined with third-place finishes in the Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve and the Belmont Stakes presented by NYRA Bets, in addition to three additional graded stakes placings, earned Baeza a nod as a finalist for the Eclipse Award in the 3-year-old male division.
