Horse trainer Bob Baffert had four winners on the day, but the biggest victory of all went to Lookin at Lucky, who on Saturday won the Grade 1 $750,000 CashCall Futurity and now becomes the horse to beat at the 2010 Kentucky Derby.

Under jockey Garrett Gomez, Lookin at Lucky stayed close to the pace early and then took the lead at the half-mile pole. Lookin at Lucky ($2.60) finished three-quarters of a length ahead of Noble's Promise, with Make Music for Me another half-length back in third place.

Today's win at Hollywood Park gives Lookin at Lucky 5 wins in 6 starts. Following the race, Baffert told reporters that Lookin at Lucky would get a nice, long break before taking in two prep races en route to the 2010 Kentucky Derby.
