Impressive debut winner West Riding returns Wednesday

DEL MAR, Calif. - West Riding, an impressive debut winner going two turns on July 30, faces first-level allowance company in race 5 at Del Mar on Wednesday going 1 1/16 miles.

West Riding, 3, is a daughter of Tapit whom trainer Bob Baffert purchased as a yearling for Juddmonte Farms. She did not race until July of her 3-year-old year owing to a pastern injury early in her training career.

But she looked like a potential stakes runner in her debut.

“She’s always been very impressive in her training,” Baffert said Monday. “She’s been doing really well since that race.”
