LOUISVILLE, KY – In the 147th annual running of the Kentucky Derby, Arizona Alumni Bob Baffert came away victorious for the seventh time in his career.

Bob Baffert and the Kentucky Derby, it is what has become synonymous in the sport of horse racing the past few years as our former Wildcat has dominated the sports as of recent.

From six previous Kentucky Derby wins, seven at the Preakness Stakes, three at Belmont Stakes, and two Triple Crown victories, there aren’t many better than Baffert.
