Bob Baffert runs Starlet Stakes streak to 9 with Consequent

On Saturday, Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert had his ninth consecutive Starlet Stakes win, believed to be a North American record, as Consequent and jockey Kazushi Kimura won by a length at Los Alamitos.
The Los Alamitos thoroughbred meet opened with 15 different trainers winning the first 15 races Friday and Saturday, while Baffert, who often wins with less obvious entries, had scratched Himika earlier in the day.
Consequent ran the 1-1/16 miles in 1:44.03, paying $7.60 as bettors' second choice while Nimah went off at 2-5 and finished third after battling Cashed, who placed second.
The result reinforced Bob Baffert's dominance in the meet's graded stakes and added to his Starlet — 11 wins overall, underpinning his success.
The $200,000 Los Alamitos Futurity is scheduled for next Saturday and has been won 14 times by Bob Baffert, complementing his seven straight Del Mar Futurity wins from 1996-2002.
