Del Mar: Baffert enters 4 of 5 runners in Desi Arnaz Stakes

Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert has had luck in the past in this Saturday’s feature at Del Mar, the $100,000 Desi Arnaz Stakes for 2-year-old fillies.

He’s won four of the last seven runnings of the seven-furlong test, including last year’s edition with Nothing Like You.

Now here he comes again with four of the five entrants coming over from his barn, including race favorite Silent Law, the daughter of Tiz the Law fresh off a stakes score in the Anoakia at Santa Anita.

This will be the 37th edition of the Arnaz, previously known as the Moccasin Stakes and run at Hollywood Park.

The lone outlier in the lineup, gray filly Practical Dream, is conditioned by former Baffert assistant Tim Yakteen. The daughter of Practical Joke chased Silent Law home in the Anoakia on Oct. 25.

The Arnaz will go as race 2 on the nine-race card.

Silent Law has raced twice and was an impressive winner on both occasions. The dark bay or brown miss was a $400,000 purchase at a 2-year-old sale earlier this year in Florida.

Tenma captured Del Mar’s top race for 2-year-old fillies, the Del Mar Debutante (G1), by a whisker on Sept. 7, then finished third in Santa Anita’s Oak Leaf Stakes (G2) on Oct. 5.

Mawu, a daughter of Blame, has raced only once, but it was a good one. She tallied by better than three lengths on Oct. 6 at Santa Anita in a straight maiden affair.
