Bob Baffert - Hall of Fame

Hall of Fame

Bob Baffert was inducted into Lone Star Park's Hall of Fame in 2007, and on February 25, 2009, the National Museum of Racing's Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, New York announced that Baffert was a finalist for induction into the Hall of Fame as a trainer. Ironically, also nominated in the category of Contemporary Male Horse was Point Given who won under Baffert's training the Belmont Stakes, Preakness Stakes, Haskell Invitational Handicap, Travers Stakes and ultimately the Eclipse Award for Horse of the Year. (Point Given was elected and inducted into the Hall of Fame the following year.) On April 19, 2009, Baffert was elected to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame alongside one of the best fillies he trained, Silverbulletday.
