Gomez guided Albaugh Family Stables LLC and Spendthrift Farm LLC’s Thousand Words out to the track around 7 a.m. and rode him to the backstretch for some added distance before starting a lap around the one-mile track. Click below to view video of Authentic: “He goes straight off,” Baffert said. “We don’t back him up. We have to fool him. He’s a little quirky.” Thousand Words was scratched from the Derby after he reared and fell while being saddled. The Pioneerof the Nile colt was not injured, but Baffert’s assistant, Jimmy Barnes, had to be taken to the hospital with a fractured right wrist. Baffert said he is pleased how his runners have adjusted to Pimlico since being shipped from Louisville on Tuesday. “Both horses are doing fine. They both look good out here,” Baffert said. “This track is so soft. You just don’t hear them. I’ve always loved this surface here. They are both training well. There are no excuses.” Both colts were schooled in Pimlico’s indoor paddock before the second race Thursday after- noon. Baffert said he will follow his usual approach and saddle Bob Baffert/BENOIT PHOTO his Preakness horses in the paddock and not on the turf course. Baffert is seeking his record-setting eighth Preakness victory and has often said that he enjoys the atmosphere surrounding the classic when it’s the second race of the Triple Crown series. Due to changes from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Preakness is the last of the three classics for 3-year-olds to be run. He lamented this year’s cancellation of the Alibi Breakfast, a Thursday morning tradition on Preakness week, “We miss the breakfast, though,” he said. “I like that fried chicken. I don’t know if I can win a Preakness without fried chicken. I have to go find some.” Baffert’s two starters will push his career Preakness total to 22 runners, passing Nick Zito into second place on the list of most starters for a trainer since 1909. D. Wayne Lukas is the leader with 44 starters.
