Baffert trio exit CashCall Futurity in good shape

Juvenile Liaison earned his third straight win on Saturday while giving his

Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert a record sixth victory when taking the Grade 1

CashCall Futurity at Hollywood Park by a gutsy neck.

"He's doing really well," Baffert said by telephone from his Santa

Anita base Sunday morning.

Liaison hopes to follow in the giant footsteps of Baffert's five previous winners

-- Real

Quiet, Captain Steve, Point Given, Pioneerof the Nile and Lookin at Lucky -- who

collectively went on to earn a Horse of the Year title and four Eclipse Awards

while capturing one Kentucky Derby, three Preakness Stakes, one Belmont Stakes

and

one Group 1 Dubai World Cup, among others.

Baffert said Liaison, a son of Indian Charlie owned by Arnold Zetcher, would

probably resurface at Santa Anita.

"Nothing definite yet," the horseman said. "We all need to sit down and see how

he's doing. He's on the Derby program."
