Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert has had some luck in the past in this Saturday’s feature at Del Mar, the $100,000 Desi Arnaz Stakes for 2-year-old fillies.

He’s won four of the past seven runnings of the seven-furlong test, including last year’s edition with Nothing Like You.

Now here he comes again – loaded this time for bear, as they say – with four of the five entrants coming over from his barn including race favorite Silent Law, the CSLR Racing Partner’s daughter of Tiz the Law fresh off a stakes score in the Anoakia at Santa Anita.

This will be the 37th edition of the Arnaz, previously known as the Moccasin Stakes and run at the late, great Hollywood Park.  

The lone outlier in the lineup – a gray miss known as Practical Dream – is conditioned by former Baffert assistant Tim Yakteen. The daughter of Practical Joke chased Silent Law home in the Anoakia on October 25.

Here’s the lineup for the stakes with riders and morning line odds: Baoma Corp’s Tenma (Hector Berrios, 3-1); Amestoy, Amestoy, Jr. or Beasley’s Practical Dream (Antonio Fresu, 5-1); Hal & Patti Earnhardt’s Two Bar (Tiago Pereira, 8-1); Silent Law (Juan Hernandez, 6/5), and Baoma Corp’s Mawu (Kazushi Kimura, 5/2).

The Arnaz will go as Race 2 on the nine-race card. First post Saturday will be the usual 12:30 p.m.

The race, of course, is named in honor of the famous actor, musician, producer and bandleader who was married for many years to the equally famous actress Lucille Ball. Together they starred in one of America’s most endearing sitcoms in the early days of television “I Love Lucy.” Arnaz later retired from Hollywood and lived on the beach at Del Mar where he was a regular at the racetrack as well as a horse owner and breeder.

Silent Law has raced twice and was an impressive winner on both occasions. The dark bay or brown miss was a $400,000 purchase at a 2-year-old sale earlier this year in Florida.

Tenma captured Del Mar’s top race for 2-year-old fillies – the Del Mar Debutante – by a whisker on September 7, then finished third in Santa Anita’s Oak Leaf Stakes on October 5.

Mawu, a daughter of Blame, has raced only once, but it was a good one. She tallied by better than three lengths on October 6 at Santa Anita in a straight maiden affair.
