DEL MAR, Calif. – There are three lawn jockeys in the Del Mar paddock, and they are painted at the end of the meet in the colors of the winners of the Pacific Classic, Del Mar Futurity, and Del Mar Debutante. For the 15th time since 1996, the one for the Futurity will be adorned with the silks of a horse trained by Bob Baffert, who added to his record tally in the traditional Grade 1, closing-day event when Pinehurst led from start to finish on Monday to post a 4 1/2-length victory under Mike Smith. The win came 24 hours after Baffert won the Debutante with the filly Grace Adler. It was the first time a trainer had won both major races for 2-year-olds in the same year since Baffert did it in 2012. “If I don’t have a jockey statue, it’s a bad meet,” Baffert said. “Got two.” :: Join DRF Bets and play the races with a $250 First Deposit Bonus.

Per usual for Baffert, the focus of his season was on young horses, with Pinehurst and Grace Adler both recording a pair of victories during the meet. “Our program is all about young horses,” Baffert said. “I’m just fortunate, blessed, to have the clientele to back me.” Pinehurst was one of two entrants for Baffert in the six-horse field. Both Pinehurst and stablemate Murray race for a multi-pronged partnership Baffert has nicknamed “The Avengers,” and includes SF Racing, Starlight Racing, and Madaket Stables, among others. Both colts were purchased as yearlings by bloodstock agent Donato Lanni. Both Murray and Pinehurst were debut winners earlier this meet, Murray recording a Beyer Speed Figure of 82 for his 10 3/4-length romp, Pinehurst an 86 for his half-length victory. But the public sided with Murray, hammering him down to 3-5, with Pinehurst the distant second choice at 4-1. Pinehurst ($10), starting in post 4, sped to the lead, his cause aided by Pappacap, the Best Pal winner who started from the rail, bolting toward the gap a furlong into the race, with jockey Joe Bravo correcting him before disaster struck. The incident did, however, place Pappacap behind runners, not what Bravo desired. “The intent was to go to the lead,” he said. “His ears went up, and he tried to make the gap.” Pinehurst led through an opening-quarter in 22.09 seconds and a half in 44.77. Early on the far turn, Flavien Prat, the meet’s leading rider, asked Murray to try and attack his stablemate, but he got no response. “Flat,” Prat said. “At the five-eighths I could tell he was already spent.” Pinehurst started to widen on his rivals on the far turn, had a commanding lead entering the lane, and rolled home in 1:23.55 for seven furlongs on the fast main track. He gave Smith his first stakes win of the meet. “I needed to win a stake before the meet was over,” Smith said. Pinehurst earned a 79 Beyer Speed Figure. Finneus, the second-longest shot in the field at 38-1, ran on for second, a half-length better than American Xperiment. Pappacap was fourth, then came Murray and Olympic Legend. Pinehurst, by Twirling Candy, cost $385,000 as a yearling. He earned $180,000 on Monday from a gross purse of $300,500.
