The Baffert debuter will have run a speed figure just 1 point lower than what Jimmy Creed will get for winning the Grade 2 Portero Grande today.
Jimmy Creed won the Grade 1 Malibu Stakes last time out. In terms of Beyers, he ran a 105. The second place finisher to Jimmy Creed today ran a 104 last time out.
This was simply a beautiful all around performance for the Baffert debuter Declassify. He laid down serious fractions and drew off in final time on par with elite older male sprinters on this same card.
