The American SetMeet "Big Baby": Bob Baffert's New Name on the Road to 2027
Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert has given racing fans a new name to learn: Salahudin, called "Big Baby" around the barn, who just won the Iroquois in his first prep race of the season. The victory marks Baffert's opening step on the long road toward the 2027 Kentucky Derby, with this colt now carrying his hopes. For a horse just starting out, a win in his first test is exactly the kind of result a trainer wants on the record.
