Newgate wins the Robert B. Lewis Stakes in an all-Bob Baffert race

There was never a question that trainer Bob Baffert would have a horse win Saturday's Grade 3 $200,000 Robert B. Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita since he trained all four in the embarrassingly small field. The only question was which one would cross the finish line first.

It turned out to be the favorite, Newgate, with Frankie Dettori aboard. It was Newgate's second win in six starts.

It was a Kentucky Derby points qualifying race, except that Baffert is currently not allowed to accrue Derby points because he is one year into a two-year ban from Churchill Downs after the contested disqualification of Medina Spirit in the 2021 Kentucky Derby.
