DEL MAR, Calif. – Midnight Memories continued a memorable meet for trainer Bob Baffert and the ownership group of Mike Pegram, Karl Watson, and Paul Weitman by scoring a mild upset over favored Desert Dawn in the Grade 3, $125,500 Torrey Pines Stakes for 3-year-old fillies Sunday at Del Mar. The victory, the second of the day for Baffert, put him atop the trainers’ standings midway through the Sunday card, with only four full programs remaining this summer. Pegram, Watson, and Weitman – long-time clients best known for two-time champion Lookin At Lucky – are tied for the lead among owners, with six wins, that from just 18 starts. Their winners this meet include Havnameltdown, who won the Grade 3 Best Pal and will be one of the contenders in next Sunday’s Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity with stablemate Cave Rock, the race’s likely favorite. And on Saturday they will have maiden winners Fast and Shiny and Home Cooking, the likely favorite, in the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante. :: DRF Bets members get FREE DRF Past Performances - Formulator or Classic.

Grace Adler, a second Baffert entrant, was 4 1/4 lengths back in third, then came Cinnamon Cat, Under the Stars – a third Baffert runner who broke slowly, losing all chance – and Malibu Marie. Kirstenbosch was scratched. Midnight Memories set fractions of 23.25 seconds for the quarter, :46.95 for the half, and 1:11.23 for six furlongs en route to a final time of 1:36.32 on the fast main track. Midnight Memories had won her first two starts, then was a distant third last time out in an allowance race won by the high-quality, older female sprinter Slammed, who subsequently finished second last week in the Grade 3 Rancho Bernardo against Edgeway. “Last time she completely lost it in the paddock,” said Baffert, who employed Ramon Vazquez on Sunday. “I told him to put her on the lead,” Baffert said. “I wasn’t sure how far she’d go. She dug in.” Midnight Memories, by Mastery out of the Midnight Lute mare Tiz Midnight, has now won three times in four starts. She is a homebred for Pegram, Watson, and Weitman, for whom she’s now won $210,790, including $75,000 from the Torrey Pines.
