Making the Grade, which will run through the 2021 Triple Crown races, focuses on the winners or top performers of the key races, usually from the previous weekend, who could make an impact on the Triple Crown. We’ll be taking a close look at impressive winners and evaluating their chances to win classic races based upon ability, running style, connections (owner, trainer, jockey), and pedigree.

Medina Spirit impressed with his heart, not with his final time, in repelling Roman Centurian and Hot Rod Charlie to win a three-way photo in the $100,500, Grade 3 Robert B. Lewis Stakes Jan. 30 at Santa Anita Park.

It was two years ago when trainer Shug McGaughey followed Florida's Road to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve to a second-place finish with Code of Honor in the Run for the Roses.

Activity resumes Saturday on California’s Road to the Kentucky Derby and — surprise, surprise — trainer Bob Baffert is at the center of it.
