Silver Charm - Bob Baffert's first Kentucky Derby winner came in 1997 and he was the first horse to have an opportunity to win the Triple Crown since 1989. Silver Charm developed a huge fan following based on his determined way of winning and eventually retired in 1999 at the age of 5. Silver Charm was voted three-year-old champion of 1997 and was a candidate for Horse of the Year in 1998. |

Just one year after Silver Charm missed winning the Triple Crown by less than a length, Real Quiet became Baffert's second Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner--just missing the Triple Crown by a nose. Real Quiet has since become a multiple grade one winner and has more than paid for his purchase price of 17,000. Real Quiet was champion three-year-old of 1998. |

Silverbulletday - A Champion at two and the unanimous choice to repeat at three, Silverbulletday has been compared to the great fillies of the 80s and 90s. A multiple grade I winner, she was undefeated against her class last year. Her only losses were to the boys in the Belmont Stakes (gr. I) and older fillies and mares in her final two starts at the end of a long campaign. |

If not for stablemate Silverbulletday, Excellent Meeting would surely have been champion two-year-old of 1998. She was a multiple grade one winner at two and three and finished two lengths behind Charismatic in the Kentucky Derby. |
|
General Challenge - By the same sire as Excellent Meeting, General Challenge was a multiple grade one winner in 1999. He shows a preference for the California life, as he has performed his best at Santa Anita and Hollywood Park. |

Captain Steve begins his three-year-old campaign this year in hopes of emulating his owner's other Kentucky Derby winner, Real Quiet. |
|
Forestry - Winner of the King's Bishop Stakes (gr. I) at Saratoga in 1999, Forestry was one of Baffert's most consistent three-year-olds behind Silverbulletday only,winning 7 of 11 starts and in the money 10 times. |

Thirty Slews is where it all began for Baffert, by winning the 1992 Breeders' Cup Sprint over Meafara and champion sprinter, Rubiano. |
