Fed Biz (foreground) comes back to defeat Jimmy Creed in Friday’s $100,000 El Cajon Stakes.
DEL MAR, Calif. – Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert’s record-setting 100th career stakes win at Del Mar was accomplished Friday with a 3-year-old colt who may have a major role in lucrative late-season derbies.
Fed Biz won a thrilling running of the $100,000 El Cajon Stakes for 3-year-olds over a mile, fighting back through the stretch to catch Jimmy Creed in the final strides.
Saturday, Baffert said he would consider Fed Biz for the $1 million Pennsylvania Derby at Parx Racing on Sept. 22 or the $500,000 Indiana Derby at Hoosier Park on Oct. 6.
