Baffert on his Breeders' Cup six pack, including unbeaten 2-year-olds Hughes, Salahudin

Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert, whose 21 career Breeders' Cup victories are tied with Irish kingpin Aidan O'Brien for the most all-time, comes into Friday and Saturday's Breeders' Cup World Championships with six horses in four races. Unbeaten Hughes (4-for-4) and Salahudin (3-for-3) are in Friday's $2 million Juvenile; 2-for-2 Del Mar Debutante winner Miss Monica in Friday's $2 million Juvenile Fillies; 2025 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies runner-up Explora and Ellis Park and Churchill Downs allowance winner Nooni in Saturday's $1 million Filly & Mare Sprint; and last year's F&M Sprint winner Splendora stretching out in Saturday's $2 million Distaff. Baffert talked about his 2026 Breeders' Cup contingent this morning after they all trained at Keeneland.
