The Factor Is Now A Factor


Santa Anita opened its winter season on Boxing Day before the largest crowd since 1994 - 44,519.

Though some had given up on The Factor USA (War Front USA), his trainer Bob Baffert  had not.

His colt gave him his first victory after 20 tries to win the Grade 1 $250,000 Malibu Stakes for three-year olds.

The Factor won the 7f race by a fast 3½ lengths over Rothko in 1.19.89s - just .19 off the track record set by Twirling Candy last year.

Baffert is so pleased with his charge that he is keen to enter him in Dubai's Sheema Classic.

Nice to see a good horse come right.
