After Justify claimed the second leg of the Triple Crown with an impressive showing at The Preakness, Bob Baffert explained why the race was emotionally draining.

Bob Baffert can win his second career Triple Crown if Justify wins the 2018 Belmont Stakes on Saturday, June 9, 2018.

The 65-year-old trainer won his first Triple Crown with American Pharoah in 2015.

Justify has won every race he has run in so far in his racing career (five out of five). If Justify wins at Belmont Park on Saturday, Baffert and Justify will be just the second team to win the Triple Crown since Affirmed won in 1978.
