Free: Del Mar horses to watch for week of Nov. 13, 2023
COACH PRIME
Trainer: Bob Baffert
Last race: Nov. 10, 4th
Finish: 1st by 7 1/4
Beyer: 75
Second-start 2-year-old colt ran like a seasoned professional in maiden dirt route. Tucked inside behind leaders, waited patiently, split horses into lane, powered home. Sky is the limit.
ADVENTURESOME
Trainer: Peter Miller
Last race: Nov. 10, 5th
Finish: 4th by 2 1/2
Beyer: 70
A maiden-claiming turf front-runner, this gelding pressed and set a fast pace, hung tough to deep stretch, then was swallowed by late-runners. Potential pace play in next maiden-50 turf route.

WISHTHEYALLCOULDBE
Trainer: Sergio Morfin
Last race: Nov. 10, 6th
Finish: 7th by 6 3/4
Beyer: 65
Favored in statebred allowance/optional-claiming race, she lost all chance with a slow start. Claimed for $20,000 by Morfin from Ron Ellis, five-win veteran can rebound vs. similar.
DANDY MAN SHINES
Trainer: Jeff Mullins
Last race: Nov. 10, 7th
Finish: 1st by 2 1/4
Beyer: 84
Now 2 for 3 since being gelded, 3-year-old won second straight in minor turf-mile stakes. Settled, looped wide, 22.94 final quarter, going away. Would fit in Grade 2 Mathis Mile at Santa Anita.
IMAGINATION
Trainer: Bob Baffert
Last race: Nov. 11, 2nd
Finish: 2nd by 2 1/4
Beyer: 70
Debut 2-year-old filly by Into Mischief ran well, but hooked a buzz saw. Imagination did not break well, chased winning stablemate, finished far clear of third. Should be tough next out.
YERWANTHERE
Trainer: Paddy Gallagher
Last race: Nov. 11, 7th
Finish: 2nd by 3/4
Beyer: 83
Back in two weeks, improving turf filly ran super in minor stakes. Trailed while pacesetters crawled, ran faster each successive quarter-mile, finished in 22.63. Good filly getting better.

NAFISA
Trainer: Bob Baffert
Last race: Nov. 12, 3rd
Finish: 2nd by 1 3/4
Beyer: 66
A first-time starter in dirt mile, 2-year-old filly ran well. Four wide early, saved ground and was briefly stalled behind runners on far turn, angled out, grinding finish, respectable debut.
GLORIOUS SPRING
Trainer: Dan Blacker
Last race: Nov. 12, 8th
Finish: 4th by 5 1/4
Beyer: 73
Though she split field in Cal-bred sprint stakes, this filly actually ran well. Bumped start, rail midpack, shuffled and lost position turn, re-rallied between rivals. Better-than-looked effort.
