About
Potente is a 3yo bay from the United States trained by Bob Baffert. The horse is by Into Mischief out of Sweet Sting and has captured two victories to date. On 8th Mar 2026 at Santa Anita, Potente earned its biggest triumph, winning the $200000.00 San Felipe Stakes presented by DK Horse. The gelding has been a money‑maker for bettors; backing Potente throughout its career would have yielded a 130% return on investment.
