Race 9 Del Mar -- Del Mar Futurity -- 7Fs

Contenders--morning line

#3 Midshipman--3/1
#2 Southern Exchange--7/2

Trainer Bob Baffert has #3 Midshipman in this 11-horse field and his runner has the top Beyer Speed Figure and the best race profile. He did it all while going four paths wide in his maiden breaker. Remember, Baffert won the Del Mar Futurity seven straight times from 1996-2002, but hasn't won it since. However, he looks very strong today.

Shipping from Woodbine, #2 Southern Exchange is undefeated in three starts, but looks a little weaker than the best Midshipman can do.

Therefore, I will bet $700 on #3 Midshipman at 2/1 or better.
