After holding off Hot Rod Charlie in a signature stretch duel to win the Belmont Stakes, Essential Quality burnished his place in Brad Cox’s mind as the best 3-year-old in his barn. That would make him even better than Mandaloun, who seems destined to win his biggest races through stewards’ decisions and medication rulings.
Now, more than three months before the racing year reaches its crescendo at Del Mar, certain bettors seem to agree with Cox. Essential Quality (5-1) is the global favorite at one foreign bookmaker to win America’s richest race.
Horseplayers who scoff and believe 3-year-olds should be long shots to win the Classic have short memories. Authentic did it last year. So did Bayern, American Pharoah and Arrogate in consecutive years from 2014-16. But what do they have in common? Or, more accurately, whom? Bob Baffert trained them all. Since he is under the microscope after Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit’s failed drug test, his status for the Breeders’ Cup might be the stuff of a separate futures market.

Monadnock Ledger-Transcript Published: 5/30/2021 9:50:03 PM Conant junior Garrett Somero became an unlikely state champion at Wednesday’s NHIAA Division III track and field championships at Gilford. Somero, a baseball player recruited by Conant track coach Bill Edson to try his hand at some field events, had only practiced the shot put twice this spring before tossing a qualifying distance at Conant’s last chance meet. On Wednesday, Somero took on the best of DIII – many of whom had been training for years – and hurled the shot put a personal best 45 feet to win the state title. “It feels amazing,” Somero said. “Even though I didn’t put many hours in, I feel as though with some more training, I can turn some heads and put my name out there for this sport.”

Julio Cortez/Associated Press When Medina Spirit won the Kentucky Derby earlier this month, it initially felt like a feel-good story. Rombauer, with a late surge, became a similar story in Saturday s Preakness Stakes. The Michael McCarthy-trained horse closed as an 11-1 long shot. Medina Spirit s victory was quickly tainted when Medina Spirit tested positive for the steroid betamethasone. The horse was cleared to race in the Preakness, but still carried an aura of controversy. If Medina Spirit goes and wins the Preakness on Saturday, the general public is going to just immediately say, Oh, well, look, there s still something funny going on, NBC Sports betting analyst Matt Bernier said, per the Associated Press (h/t

All eyes are on the Preakness to see what will happen next in horse racing’s latest chapter of drama. “If Medina Spirit goes and wins the Preakness on Saturday, the general public is going to just immediately say, ‘Oh, well, look, there’s still something funny going on,’” NBC Sports betting analyst Matt Bernier said. “If he doesn’t run well for whatever reason, the general public will still look at it and say, ‘See, something funny was going on in the Kentucky Derby.’ It’s a no-win situation for Bob Baffert, for everyone involved with the horse and for the industry as a whole.”
