Can trainer Bob Baffert potentially secure another Preakness Stakes victory with the horse Goal Oriented?
Cracking the Code of Baffert's Preakness Preference
Letting Loose with the Horse Whisperer 🐎
Baltimore's Crown Jewel Beckons Baffert 🏇♂️
Bob Baffert, the professional jockey whisperer, can't resist the allure of the Preakness. When asked why he graces the picturesque Pimlico track time and time again, Baffert can't help but chuckle and let slip, "FOMO". Yep, you read that right – Fear of Missing Out. But don't be fooled, the Preakness's Blue Crab Cakes are no match for Baffert's fervor for victory.

Michael McCarthy, trainer extraordinaire, never doubts that Journalism will grace the hallowed grounds of Pimlico. And with a twinkle in his eye, McCarthy insists his three-year-old colt is more than ready for another Triple Crown dance.
Alas, Rodriguez, the dashing winner of the Wood Memorial, was supposed to join the Preakness party, but a nagging sore hoof halted his trip to Baltimore, and Baffert's stable had to play cupid for the younger equine lovebird, Goal Oriented.
"Rodriguez was not quite ready," Baffert mused. "I'd rather just shoot for the Belmont with him. He's a lighter horse."
Eight Preakness crowns, more than any other trainer in history, tell a tale of Baffert's Preakness prospects. And he's bringing Goal Oriented, an undefeated two-time starter, to Baltimore with taunting ears. No one knows what Goal Oriented's potential holds, but Baffert's record speaks for itself. He's the fourth favorite, a pet name for a favorite with starry eyes in the racing world, flirting with odds as low as 2-1.

**"Baffert's next horse, Goal Oriented, is set to challenge California's coastal racing circuits, aiming to make a name in horse-racing across the state."
"In a surprising twist, Bob Baffert plans to take a brief break from the bustling Pimlico track this season, instead embarking on a journey through California's sports racing scenes, with Goal Oriented leading the charge."
