Not surprisingly, trainer Bob Baffert has the favorite for the $300,000 seven-panel headliner that annually crowns the summer meet’s juvenile filly champ. Hall of Famer Baffert, you see, has already won the Deb on 10 occasions and has the morning-line, odds-on favorite in his latest lass – Zedan Racing Stables’ Nooni – at 4/5 as she tackles six rivals in the dash.

Nooni is one of those fillies that has landed on the radar with a lot of people and could one day be a star in the sport. But for now she has to pay her dues and gain some respect. That quest continues Saturday with the G1 FanDuel Racing Debutante at Del Mar. Seven 2-year-old fillies are set to line-up in the race that crowns the Del Mar summer meet’s Juvenile Filly champion.

Diamon Bar Gal, a lightly raced daughter of the late stallion Vronsky, scampered over five furlongs on turf in :57.30 and hung tough late to hold off fast-closing Nene Diamond to capture the Thursday feature at Del Mar by a diminishing nose.

Milestone anniversary for Shoemaker's record-setting season.

Hot Girl Walk proved best in the Generous Portion Stakes as she got home a length and a quarter the best in the six furlong sprint headlining the Labor Day card.

Muth had to move a little earlier because my other horse (Imagination) was breathing down his neck. It’s good see him back off that long layoff. Now we can point for the California Crown.

Formidable Man came running hard in the lane and got the job done by half a length in the 78th edition of the Grade II Caesars Sportsbook Del Mar Derby Sunday at the shore track.

Muth wins Shared Belief Stakes.

“He gave us a few hints of being a special horse but today he really validated the horse he is,” O’Neill said Saturday. “When you look at his PP’s, he’s run in a lot of different places and he’s always been surrounding them and today it just unfolded perfectly and Kyle Frey just rode a perfect race.”

Nisan Gabbay rallied late with a $4,900 win bet on last race winner Conclude to blast into the lead finishing with a final bankroll of $29,890.
