Bob Baffert will be heavily expected to train the winner of the G1 California Crown Stakes this weekend when making a prediction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The horse racing<\/a> Hall of Famer saddles both National Treasure and Muth in the race at Santa Anita, with both holding obvious claims in a stacked field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senor Buscador also has big-race wins to his name and could have a role to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offshore Odds: National Treasure Narrowly Preferred to Stablemate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Baffert Holds Two Leading Chances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unsurprisingly, Bob Baffert runners dominate the betting, with the Hall of Famer chasing a ninth win in the race. National Treasure is narrowly preferred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, he will need to return to form after a sub-par run in the G1 Whitney when finishing sixth of ten. Was solid over a mile prior to that effort when landing the G1 Met Mile. Concerns surrounding his ability over this trip are glaring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"Say hello to Muth!"

#6 MUTH very impressive on debut in Race 2 at Santa Anita. Bob Baffert trains the $2 million purchase, a son of Good Magic. @JJHernandezS19<\/a> in the irons. pic.twitter.com\/BrIKemg2kV<\/a><\/p>— FanDuel Racing (@FanDuel_Racing) June 18, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>
