Bob Baffert’s Adare Manor to run in Saturday’s Pacific Classic at Del Mar

Del Mar’s signature race of the summer gained some needed star power Monday night, when trainer Bob Baffert said he would enter his star mare Adare Manor in Saturday’s $1 million Pacific Classic.

Only one female has won the race in 33 prior runnings — Beholder in 2015.

Adare Manor, a 5-year-old daughter of Uncle Mo, has won 10 of her 18 starts, including the Grade 1 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes the last two years at Del Mar. She has never run against males or gone as far as 1 1/4 miles.
