Trainer Bob Baffert will look for his unprecedented third consecutive and sixth overall win in the Haskell with this Belmont Stakes runner-up.  Earlier this year, the lightly-raced Awesome Again colt went right from breaking his maiden at first asking to finishing fourth behind I’ll Have Another in the Santa Anita Derby.  Last out, the Baffert trainee exited a dominant allowance win on Preakness Day to fall just a neck shy of Union Rags in the Belmont.
