Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner and likely 2-year-old champion Citizen Bull worked a bullet at Santa Anita on Saturday morning. The son of Into Mischief, trained by Bob Baffert went six furlongs in 1:12.0, fastest of five over the distance.

The work was his sixth since returning to the work tab after the Breeders’ Cup, and his longest in that time frame. According to a Santa Anita news release earlier this month, Baffert was pointing Citizen Bull to the Robert B. Lewis at Santa Anita on Feb. 1. Nominations to the Robert B. Lewis, which offers 20-10-6-4-2 points for the Kentucky Derby, close Friday.
