He defeated a pair of 3-year-old colts from the barn of embattled trainer Bob Baffert. Ridden by Juan Hernandez, Forbidden Kingdom ran 1 1/16 miles in 1:43.98. Forbidden Kingdom took the lead out of the gate on the way to his third win in five career starts. Baffert’s entry, Doppelganger, finished second. The trainer’s other colt, Armagnac, was sixth in the field of seven.
