Baffert had a pretty ridiculous year. One of his best in a long time.

In a sport where so much attention is put on the triple crown series and Breeders Cup ... I suppose if a trainer goes winless in both it costs them. For a lot of people, horse racing is nothing but the Triple Crown series and Breeders Cup.

29% wins and $1.84 ROI from more than 500 starters and it seemed like his horses were being annoyingly overbet all year long.

When your ROI is half the takeout and everything you send out is getting hammered, that's pretty wild. Even with the BC and Triple Crown series flops, his win percentage in Graded Stakes was 26%.

Congrats to all the winners.

I was listening on sirius and Romans sounded as if he was starting to cry.
