Baffert Filly Tries to Keep 'Dream' Alive

Phoenix Thoroughbred's Dream Tree (Uncle Mo) will attempt to take her perfect record to five-for-five in Saturday's GIII Santa Ysabel S. at Santa Anita. Besting subsequent GII Santa Ynez S. heroine Midnight Bisou (Midnight Lute) by a nose in both her Oct. 27 unveiling and the Desi Arnaz S. Nov. 18, the $750,000 FTFMAR buy proved the stretch to two turns was no problem with a 3 1/4-length decision in the GI Starlet S. Dec. 9. The Bob Baffert pupil won by a similar margin last time in the one-mile GII Las Virgenes S. in Arcadia Feb. 4.

A model of consistency, Ruis Racing's One Fast Broad (Decarchy) has only finished worse than second once in seven starts on both dirt and turf and is a perfect three-for-three on the main track, including a victory in the one-mile Soviet Problem S. for California-breds at Los Alamitos Dec. 2. The dark bay made her last two starts in turf stakes, most recently finishing second in the California Cup Oaks in Arcadia Feb. 19.
