BALTIMORE (AP) — Bob Baffert is back at the Preakness for his first Triple Crown race in two years.
National Treasure is his first horse set to run in the series since Medina Spirit at the 2021 Preakness.
Baffert was barred from the Kentucky Derby in 2022 and 2023 since winner Medina Spirit was disqualified for failing a postrace drug test.
He could not enter a horse in the Preakness or Belmont last year because of a suspension in Kentucky that Maryland and New York honored.
Baffert is going for a record-breaking eighth victory in the Preakness.
