The debuting $3.2-million Fasig-Tipton Saratoga graduate Barnes (c, 2, Into Mischief–All American Dream, by American Pharoah) is set to become the first starter at Churchill Downs for Hall of Famer Bob Baffert since the lifting of his well-documented, corporation-imposed three-year suspension. Owned by Zedan Racing Stables, Barnes worked five furlongs in 1:00 2/5 (2/8) at Baffert's Santa Anita base Nov. 20 before heading to Louisville. His third dam is MGISW Dream Supreme (Seeking the Gold), responsible for GISW Majestic Warrior (A.P. Indy). The Into Mischief x Empire Maker cross is responsible for promoted GI Kentucky Derby winner Mandaloun and G1 Dubai World Cup hero Laurel River. TJCIS PPS
