By my count, we're now up to three stakes races, two of historical significance. I imagine there are more to find - maybe SEVERAL more to find - if somebody had nothing to do but watch old horse races.
Now, no person in his or her right mind would question the extraordinary talent of an Arrogate or a Justify. But we now have two very clear patterns:
1) Bob Baffert uses one entrant in a race to OBSTRUCT competitors in order to set the race up for another Baffert entrant.
2) Baffert isn't punished.
