Baffert’s 13th Eclipse winner is Lookin At Lucky

Lookin At Lucky notched his second career Eclipse Award, winning 3-year-old championship honors Jan. 17 in Miami. Bob Baffert had already guided Lookin At Lucky to the top in 2009, when he won the award for 2-year-old male after winning five of six races and $1,243,000. With the pair of awards, Lookin At Lucky is the first horse since Spectacular Bid in 1979-80 to achieve the accomplishment.

Owned by Karl Watson, Paul Weitman, and Mike Pegram, Lookin At Lucky once again competed against the best of his division in 2010. He won the Preakness (G1), Haskell I. (G1), Rebel S. (G2), and Indiana Derby (G2), and was third in both the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) and Santa Anita Derby (G1). He finished the year with earnings of $2,064,278.

Lookin At Lucky becomes the 13th Eclipse Award winner for the Hall of Fame trainer. “Lucky” is one of three repeat award winners for Baffert, along with Silverbulletday and Point Given. Finally, he is also the fifth Baffert trainee to be named champion 3-year-old.
