In an exciting race at Del Mar, Citizen Bull emerged victorious in the $2 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile, securing a 1 1/2-length win over Gaming. The Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert celebrated a remarkable 1-2 finish, marking his sixth career victory in the prestigious race for 2-year-olds.
Ridden skillfully by Martin Garcia, Citizen Bull completed the 1 1/16 miles in 1:43.07, defying the odds at 15-1 and paying $33.80 for the win. This triumph also earned Citizen Bull 30 qualifying points for the upcoming Kentucky Derby, signaling Baffert's return to the event next year after his three-year ban by Churchill Downs concluded in July.
