NEW YORK (Reuters) - The crown jewel of American horse racing will welcome back the sport's most famous trainer at the Kentucky Derby this year, as Bob Baffert returns from a three-year ban, while heavy favourite Journalism hopes to make some headlines of his own.
Two Baffert-trained horses will be on the track for the first leg of the esteemed U.S. Triple Crown series on Saturday for the first time since 2021, with Citizen Bull and Rodriguez taking the first and fourth post positions respectively.
