Bob Baffert is not known for being anything special on turf. He is 14% lifetime on turf also just 9-for-64 lifetime (also 14%) with 1st-time starters of turf. He is 24% lifetime on dirt by comparison.
That said, on Friday's opening day card at Del Mar, he debuts Du Jour, a 2-year-old colt by Temple City to be ridden by Mike Smith from the 12 post in a mile race with a 6-to-1 morning line in a field of 14. The colt has had some noteworthy workouts in prepping for this race. He was a $280,000 purchase earlier this year owned in part by Baffert's wife Natalie (Jill).
