Full of horse and making a five-wide trip around the turn, jockey Flavien Prat guided Grace Adler (9-2) to an 11 1/4-length, hand-ridden victory Sunday in the Grade 1, $300,000 Del Mar Debutante Stakes, a seven-furlong race for 2-year-old fillies.

The victory was trainer Bob Baffert's third in a row in this race and his record 10th overall, breaking the tie he held with D. Wayne Lukas.

"She's a really good filly," Baffert told TVG afterward. "Hopefully she stays healthy and we bring her back for the Breeders' Cup (Juvenile Fillies) here."

Dance to the Music (3-1) was a distant second, followed by Bicameral (25-1) in third and Myfavoritedaughter (30-1) in fourth. The favorite Eda (6-5) led going into the turn but had nothing left for the homestretch and finished fifth.

Grace Adler's winning time was 1:23.76 off early fractions of 21.78, 44.37 and 1:10.75 on the fast main track.

A $700,000 Curlin filly owned Jack Meyer's Willow Grace Farm and Eric Lund Petersen, Grace Adler made her debut July 31 with a 3/4-length victory in a five-furlong maiden fillies race at Del Mar.
