During Kentucky Derby week at Churchill Downs, the atmosphere is vibrant with trainers, owners, and media mingling. However, only a fraction of the 1,500 horses can compete, with only 20 starting in the Derby. Trainer Bob Baffert, recently reinstated after a ban, stands out at Barn 33, a hub for fans and media. Six signs commemorating his Derby victories are back up after being stored and signify his prestigious role. Baffert expressed gratitude for the warm welcome back, highlighting his connection to the community and the race's history.
I'm so happy to be back and be here… It's good to see the signs back up, all my greatest achievements are on this wall in here.
Not all of the 1,500 horses stabled are eligible to race in the Kentucky Derby. In fact, only 20 of them make the starting gate.
