DEL MAR, Calif. - Trainer Bob Baffert was inducted into the Hall of Fame last month and since then has set about showing everyone why.
On Sunday at Del Mar, he lined up two Breeders' Cup starters with victories by Richard's Kid in the Grade 1, $1 million Pacific Classic and Zensational in the Grade 1, $300,000 Pat O'Brien Stakes. Both races are linked to the Breeders' Cup through the Win and You're In program, so Richard's Kid has earned a berth in the BC Classic and Zensational in the BC Sprint. Both races are Nov. 7 at Santa Anita's Oak Tree meeting.
