Bob Baffert is back at the Kentucky Derby for the first time in four years, having served his punishment for Medina Spirit’s failed drug test and coming to the place where he’s won a record-tying six times. He'll saddle Rodriguez and Citizen Bull in the May 3 race. Baffert has his old Churchill Downs barn back and the track restored the signs boasting of his previous Derby triumphs to the wall outside. He says it was a tough three years, but he hasn't let himself become bitter about being banned from the race he values the most.
