\n OCEANPORT, N.J. \u2014 Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert got yet another win in the Haskell Stakes with a talented, developing colt who is now very much in the picture for the coronavirus-delayed Kentucky Derby.<\/p>\n

Authentic gave Baffert his record-extending ninth victory in the $1 million Grade 1 Haskell on Saturday, holding off late charging Ny Traffic by a nose at Monmouth Park.<\/p>\n

Jockey Mike Smith put the Santa Anita Derby runner-up on the lead at the start and they covered the 1 1\/8- mile Grade 1 stakes in 1:50.46. The win was the third in four starts this year for the colt.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just so proud of him,\u201d Baffert said. \u201cI was telling Mike, \u2019You got to stay after him and keep him busy because he looks at everything.\u2019 I could tell he wasn\u2019t focused going down the stretch. He held on and he saw that horse coming to him and he took off again.\u201d <\/p>\n

Belmont runner-up Dr. Post finished third under jockey Joe Bravo.<\/p>\n

Smith, who made the trip<\/a> in from the West Coast and had to pass a coronavirus test before gaining entrance to the track, broke Authentic from the No. 2 post and never lost the lead.<\/p>\n

It was not the easiest of rides.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has an abundance of talent but he\u2019s still got some growing up to do,\u201d Smith said. \u201cHe sees all kinds of things that aren\u2019t even there. Down the backside there are a lot of shadows with the sun setting and he must have ducked at every one of them, He almost got me off at one point.\u201d <\/p>\n

It might have been a going away present for Baffert, who has been hit with a 15-day suspension by the Oaklawn Park stewards in Arkansas. It\u2019s the result of two of his horses testing positive for being over the allowed limit of a substance in races on May 2. Baffert plans to app<\/a>eal the penalty.<\/p>\n

Assistant trainer Jimmy Barnes saddled the colt Saturday.<\/p>\n

Baffert last won the Haskell in 2015 with American Pharoah, one of two colts he guided to the Triple Crown. Justify (2018) was the other.<\/p>\n

Baffert\u2019s other Haskell winners were in 2014 (Bayern), 2012 (Paynter), 2011 (Coil), 2010 (Lookin at Lucky), 2005 (Roman Ruler), 2002 (War Emblem) and 2001 (Point Given).<\/p>\n

Authentic won his first three starts before finishing second to Honor A. P. in the Grade 1 race in California in his last start on June 6.<\/p>\n

Ny Traffic, who finished second in the Matt Winn in Kentucky in his last start, came flying late and could not catch Authentic before the finish line with Paco Lopez aboard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was sure I got him \u2014 100%,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cI can\u2019t believe it. I\u2019m surprised we didn\u2019t win. I really thought we got him.\u201d <\/p>\n

Authentic earned 100 points for the Kentucky Derby on Sept. 5. The winner also earned a berth for the Breeders\u2019 Cup Classic in November.<\/p>\n

Authentic paid $3.20, $2.60 and $2.10. Ny Traffic returned $4.20 and $2.40, and Dr Post paid $2.10 to show.<\/p>\n

The owners of Tiz the Law plan to run this year\u2019s winner of the first leg of the Triple Crown in the Travers Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 8. It would be his final prep for the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. The Preakness is scheduled for Oct. 3 in a rejiggered Triple Crown season changed by the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

Just before the Haskell, Bravo rallied Aquaphobia ($23.40) in the stretch to a narrow victory over Paret in the $300,000 The United Nations Stakes, the only other Grade 1 race run in New Jersey. It\u2019s was Bravo\u2019s fifth win in the race.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
