Bob Baffert, a prominent American horse trainer, has recently returned from a suspension for a failed drug test and is now focused on pursuing his seventh Kentucky Derby victory. One of the horse owners he has worked with, Tom Ryan, expressed gratitude for Baffert’s training skills and the success of their horses, including Moira, Citizen Bull, and National Treasure.

Moira, a horse co-owned by Tom Ryan, has had a successful career with 7 victories and earnings of over $2,996,017, with her most recent triumph at the 2024 Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf. Citizen Bull, another horse trained by Baffert, has shown promise as a potential contender for the 2025 Kentucky Derby, with significant victories in various stakes races and earnings of $1,421,000. National Treasure, with earnings of $5,578,000, has also had notable victories in prestigious races.

Despite Citizen Bull’s strong performance, he faces competition from Coal Battle and Owen Almighty, who have earned more points in recent races leading up to the Kentucky Derby. Coal Battle earned points in the Springboard Mile Stakes and Smarty Jones Stakes, while Owen Almighty accumulated points in the Iroquois Stakes and Sam F. Davis Stakes, with a standout performance in the Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby. The next race for Citizen Bull remains uncertain as Baffert strategizes for the upcoming Kentucky Derby.
