The Robert. B. Lewis Stakes is a Kentucky Derby Prep race in Southern California, which has been dominated by Hall of Fame coach Bob Baffert in recent years, which was the last six editions of The Lewis to his 12 lifelong victories in this Santa Anita Park won.
The last six winners of Baffert all prevailed with even chances of winning and he has three of the five runners in this year's Robert B. Lewis, the qualification points for the 2025 Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve on a 20-10-6 have -4-2.
1. Madaket Road (5-2 Morgenline profit opportunities): The Quality Road Colt second in the Bob Hope Stakes in his third-class career debut brings half a long length against the pace in a Maiden sprint on December 26th in Santa Anita. Talented Colt that affects two faster (on paper).
JOCKEY: Frankie Dettori; TRAINER: Bob Baffert
2. Citizen Bull (6-5): The youthful youth of Fanduel Breeders' Cup last year, which is presented by the TAA winner and 2-year-old champion, bends his 3-year-old. If a win 1 at 1 1/16 miles on this race track, it could be exposed to early pressure from its outside for the tour.
JOCKEY: Martin Garcia; TRAINER: Bob Baffert
3 .. Rodriguez (7-5): Front lived seven length Romp 4th January on this route and distance gave this real colt into the spotlight. Faces Class test here against Champion Staffen Citizen Bull, but Rodriguez looks out of a special talent.
JOCKEY: Juan Hernandez; TRAINER: Bob Baffert
4. Clock Tower (10-1): The Clock Tower is a winner of the graded commitment to grass, which has made his best running on the lawn, and makes its third start on dirt with a second and a third in his two previous attempts. Proven class, but open up a question … especially against the two directly to his inside. At least the price should be correct.
JOCKEY: Gerardo Corrales; TRAINER: Wesley Ward
5. Valentine's sweets (30-1): Eight starts to arrest his first victory, and then ended up against California against California in the debut on December 15th. Can't support this effort.
JOCKEY: Pray the property; TRAINER: Jesus Mendoza
The choice: Rodriguez
Live Longshot: Bell tower
Trifecta: 3-2-1
