As mentioned with Baffert Monday, here's Brad Free on the barn's juveniles in the 2yo-to-watch piece..

Bob Baffert

The total auction price of Baffert’s known juveniles exceeds $30 million, led by an unnamed $4 million yearling by Curlin and produced by Beholder. The colt is not likely to start this summer, nor is his owner Amr Zedan’s unnamed $3.2 million yearling colt by Into Mischief and produced by All American Dream.

Baffert-trained juveniles typically fire first out; his three rookies this year ran well. Midland Money, a colt by Shancelot, won by six; Privman, a colt by Justify, raced greenly and finished a promising second; Nooni, by Win Win Win, romped with a 78 Beyer Speed Figure. More will follow; the past five Del Mar summers, Baffert is 27 for 87 (31 percent) with debut 2-year-olds. Getaway Car, a $700,000 yearling Curlin colt produced by a stakes winner, makes his debut Saturday in race 2.

Unraced colts trained by Baffert include Emerald Bay, a $700,000 yearling by Nyquist; Authentic Spirit, a $400,000 yearling by first-crop sire Authentic; Cornucopian, a $1.1 million yearling by Into Mischief and sibling to a Grade 1 winner; Gaming, a $250,000 juvenile by first-crop sire Game Winner; Goal Oriented, a $425,000 yearling by Not This Time; Kalea Bay, a $700,000 yearling by Authentic; Lannister, a $400,000 yearling by Not This Time; Madaket Road, a $650,000 yearling by Quality Road produced by a Grade 2 winner; and an unnamed $700,000 juvenile by Justify, from a stakes winner.

Filly prospects include Moona Lisa, a $1.9 million juvenile by first-crop sire Tiz the Law; Two Bar, an $85,000 yearling by Lookin At Lucky; Casalu, a $775,000 juvenile by first-crop sire Caracaro; Maysam, a $500,000 juvenile by Game Winner; Non Compliant, a $150,000 juvenile by Tiz the Law; Showers, a $240,000 yearling by Ghostzapper; and Tenma, a $850,000 juvenile by Nyquist. An unnamed $600,000 juvenile Tiz the Law–Animal Appeal filly is working well; Cash Call, a $600,000 juvenile by first-crop sire McKinzie, has worked fast at Los Alamitos.
