Racing Dudes Top 20 Kentucky Derby Rankings #5

2. Mastery

Derby Points/Rank: 10 – 14th

Race Record: (3) 3-0-0

Earnings: $271,200

Breeding: Candy Ride – Steady Course

Owner: Cheyenne Stables LLC

Trainer: Bob Baffert

Last Race: Grade 1 Los Alamitos Cash Call Futurity at Santa Anita, Finished 1st  

Analysis: Just reading the trainer’s name makes this horse dangerous.  Bob Baffert is winning every big race in sight lately, and he loves this colt.  Mastery has been workman-like in all three of his victories, as he has won easily while not being asked to do much running.  The ceiling seems to be pretty high with this one as he targets a Derby prep race in March.
